attempt recovery on service CRITICAL with nrpe

[Jamin]

Hey all,
	I was wondering if any of you have tried to use nrpe to fix 
problems on systems before any paging occurs.  Basically I have an LDAP 
service running on a remote machine and I would like to set up nagios with 
nrpe to try to restart the service when it detects that it has gone down.

I know that this is kind of a hack, but we need our LDAP server up and we 
can't sit there and watch it 24x7.  The vendor has been contacted to 
determine what is causing the instability of the program, but in the mean 
time I need something that will try to do some triage.

Have any of you set up anything like this?

I would be very interested in any solutions that you have tried for 
similar problems on your systems.

Thanks,
