round peg, round hole - just diferent sizes...

mon uses pluggable service monitors like Nagios

Invocation is "service.monitor hostname hostname hostname"
The exit codes are 0 - OK and 1 - NotOK

You can use the service monitors with nrpe without any problems - you just 
note that you will not get any critical alarms in Nagios.  Or you could 
modify the exit codes - they are hardcoded in most of the standard service 
monitors.
