How to run a remote script in Nagios

[Tõnis Trei]

Hello,

Im quite new at Nagios and have run into a small problem.

I need to trigger a script with a parameter on a remote machine and based on
the result trigger an alarm or not.
But im at little loss on how to set it up.

Script is located in /etc/init.d/script.sh on a remote machine and i should
run it as "/etc/init.d/script.sh X" where x is the parameter.
Script returns me the result, eather OK or some text and in case of not
being ok, i want to send this text out with an email.

So im wondering that should i specifie a command in command.cfg that would
run this script and then create a new service that would trigger this
command and mail the results?


Thanks,
Tõnis
