Problem with custom plugin on a remote linux box

Always use the full path to interpreters, as the Nagios environment
is not the same as a normal shell user's.

Same with here.

The command you have created above expects the check command to be
on the local (Nagios) server, *not* the remote client.  I don't
think that's what you intend.  Since your custom plugin is on the
remote server and is configured within NRPE to be run, you need
to use check_nrpe on the Nagios server to test it.

Modify the check_wadmin command on the Nagios server to use the
check_nrpe command to test it on the remote server, and I think
you'll probably be OK.
