Script to probe service status in Nagios

[Miah, W (Wadud)]

I'm not aware of the plugin check_nagios_service. Does such a plugin
exist? If so, where can I get this from?

Is there any reason you wouldn't want to just run it from ssh? Eg:

/usr/bin/ssh your.nagios.host /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ 
check_nagios_service -H $1 --host=server --service=nscd >/dev/null
