Host Discovery Script

[Rick Glover]

Greetings.  I have completed a majority of my work on a Perl script that has a 
purpose of performing a discovery on a host to develop a set of service 
definitions.  It parses your cfg files to put together a set of all your 
configured check commands to run against the host that you specify.  I'm down 
to the part where I need to get the return code value from the check command 
when it executes.  I want to be able to give the check command its time to run 
and grab the result.  If the result is OK then add this service check to the 
output cfg file.  I've read through the Perl documentation and couldn't find a 
good bit of sample code to help with this (or didn't really understand what I 
was reading).  Can anyone help with this?

Thank you,
Rick Glover
