event_handlers through nrpe?

[Paul Archer]

I suppose I should have been more explicit in my first email. The problem 
I'm having is not with the basic chain of commands, but with all the 
environmental variables/macros. Figuring out what to put where to get the 
$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ data all the way to 
the remote machine is giving me a headache.
Perhaps using ssh is the way to go...
