Rsync server test

[Hari Sekhon]

I am testing an Rsync server by doing

./check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 873


but I have noticed that this causes the Rsync server to spew the 
following into the logs:

rsyncd[10422]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 74 bytes 
[receiver]: Broken pipe (32)
rsyncd[10422]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 
12) at io.c(1121) [receiver=2.6.8]


every single time a check is performed. This is obviously because of the 
tcp connection and then abrupt disconnection. I'd really like to get rid 
of all this noise from the logs.

Is there a better way of doing this? Does anybody else monitor a Rsync 
server with nagios and if so how?
