With NSCA what check_command do you use?

[Shaun Reitan :: NDC Host]

Chris,

Thanks i'll check it out.  NSCA has been a pain in the ass so far, i'm
having to write scripts just just parse the data for the send process.  Am i
missing something or is this normal? :)

Best Regards,

Since NSCA works by receiving results via externals i really dont need a
check_command on the nagios monitor but it wont let me not have one.  I
setup libexec/check_dummy in it's place but that gives unaccurate results
becasue nagios still runs that check_command and it's returning OK and
overwriting the info it received via externals.
