I guess you can download nrpe from 
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/netsaint/download/nrpe-1.2.2.tar.gz

To monitor remote host services e,g check_users, check_uptime, check_cpu 
, check_disk etc its quite easy all you have to do install nrpe on 
remote host

cp nrpe /usr/sbin

1) cp nrpe.cfg /etc
2) vi /etc/nrpe.cfg and uncomment check_command lines you want
3) dont' forget to copy the need plugins to remote host

This is just a tips, I hope this will makes you go with nrpe.
