sending nsca checks

[Jason Lancaster]

By nature, nagios reads the nagios.cmd file for external commands at given
intervals specified in the nagios.cfg file. Once read, nagios processes the
data and updates the status log.

If nsca refuses the connection, it may be that the host does not have access
to connect. Check your /var/log/messages file for output from nsca.

There shouldn't be any scripts you need to use/write to accomplish this.
