Do it...

Here are a few clues:
* ssh -> check_by_ssh
* snmp -> check_snmp
* nsca -> send_nsca and the NSCA daemon
* apple pie -> yum :9

Okay... I threw the last one in, just because I -love- apple pie.

SNMP is yummy as well since it'll let you do two things at the same  
time:
1) you can run the normal check scripts, by binding them to a custom OID
2) read all kinds of interesting OS and hardware information through  
vendor OIDs

Two birds, one stone...

Cheers!
