attempt recovery on service CRITICAL with nrpe

[Shayne Lebrun]

Ok.  Just for fun, I faked it using check_by_ssh.

In the service defintion:
event_handler	reboot-remote-sillydaemon

Then in the checkcommand entry:
command_line	command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
'/usr/local/nagios/eventhandlers/restart-sillydaemon $SERVICESTATE$
$STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$'

And that runs a typical eventhandler script, which looks for, in this case,
and UNKNOWN SOFT 2 state, then tries to restart the daemon in question.

The only thing is getting it to return something so the check_by_ssh doesn't
go 'critical - timeout' in ten seconds.  But the daemon gets restarted, so
that's good enough.

If only NRPE could pass arguments, I could do something like:

event_handler    check_nrpe!restart-sillydaemon

Then in your command:
command
command_line      /path/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
restart-sillydaemon -ArgChain $SERVICESTATUS$!$STATETYPE$!$SERVICEATTEMPT$

Then in the nrpe.cfg on the remote host:
command[restart-sillydaemon]=/path/restart-sillydaemon $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

i.e. I just want the ArgChain, !-delimited, separated into ARGn variables,
which nrpe could then send along said arguments to the commands.

Ah well.  If wishes were horses, then beggers would ride.

Consider it a feature request. :-)
