I haven't ever heard of push_check.sh before and I've been using Nagios
and Netsaint for years. Perhaps I've missed something. If it's the
wrapper that is available at
http://jjoseph.org/linux-work/nagios-plugins, it looks like it assumes
that each plugin works universally on all architectures, i.e. you have
python installed and are using his python scripts and they really do
work across all architectures as he seems to claim. The standard nagios
plugins are generally architecture dependent meaning you can not run a
plugin compiled on linux on a sun box and vice-versa. Even different
flavors of an OS can be problematic. A plugin compiled on Fedora Core 3
probably isn't going to run on a Redhat 7.x box for example.

You might want to look at NRPE or the plain-old check-by-ssh. This is
the type of implementation they were designed for.

Unless the author of that program is a member of this list you'll
probably have better luck contacting him directly if you want to
continue to use his solution.
