Rewriting nsclient? (was NSClient 1.0.8.0 Installation Problem)

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi

if we were to rewrite NSClient, perhaps NSClient and NRPE should be joined 
according to syntax, and also NRPE rewritten. In our installation, we need 
Windoze boxes to forward service and host checks, so I need to do some of 
this work anyway. I've thought of changing the syntax to something like this:

(--> is from nagios server, <-- is from NSClient/NRPE)

--> GOODDAY
<-- YADDOOG
--> CHECK SERVICE|HOST service_or_host_name [ON vandervalk01]
<-- EXTERNAL_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;1;I'm drunk
--> GOODNIGHT
<-- THGINDOOG

Any ideas?
