Central nrpe config-management

[Lori Adams]

We use a Perl script using the Expect module to distribute configs, and add new commands to the nrpe.cfg file.  There's no need to disable/enable services on the "remote" machine (one running nrpe).  They can all be listed in the config, some just won't be used.

We used cfengine (http://www.cfengine.org/) to distribute our nrpe and 
other config files.  We had a script which ran over the config file and 
enabled or disabled the services we wanted on each machine.  This also 
meant you could change the services being montitored by running the 
script.  Was just a very simple Bash script that used sed.  I am sure 
you could do something much more impressive with Perl.
