    I asked a simelar question about services which use SSH to run plugins 
on remote hosts, depending on a check for SSH.  Here is that thread so 
far:

    The one addition I have to this topic, is the possibility of using a 
script to automate the creation of individual service dependencies, given 
a set of hosts and services which you want to depend on your database 
process.  This is also something I'm looking into, I know others are using 
something like this.


Thanks,

Ivan.
