NRPE dependencies - pager denial of service at tack!!

[Hollist, Seth]

Like I said in my first e-mail, I tried to setup service dependencies as you
suggested here, but that didn't seem to help because of the other problem I
mention of it not doing the NRPE check but rather rescheduling it
indefinitely until it's available again.  I guess I wasn't clear enough
about that, sorry.

Using service dependencies you can make all services that use
NRPE dependent on a service that checks just NRPE, or you can
make the host check use NRPE instead of ping.
