NSClient++ 0.0.2 (alpha 1) [intial NRPE support]

[Michael Medin]

Greetings,

A new version of NSClient++ has been released.
The most interesting new feature is probably "initial NRPE support". 
There have also been a few internal restructuring that is rather 
interesting for "me".
I have also decided to drop the experimental "check_nscp" UNIX plug in 
as you might as well use check_nrpe since we now have support for that.

For NRPE fans I have to disappoint a bit as there is no encryption 
support yet (so you either have to compile without it or use the -n 
option). But expect NRPE encryption support in the future. The NRPE 
configuration is fairly "similar" to nrpe.cfg but NSC.ini has sections 
which nrpe.cfg lacks. As for plug ins I haven't actually tested any NRPE 
plug ins (only batch files I quickly wrote) but the concept is the same 
so I assume they will all work as expected. In addition to executing 
external scripts you can also execute internal commands (using the 
inject command) to be able to use for instance NSClient commands from 
check_nrpe. There are a few examples on how to do this in NSC.ini.

Again feel free to come with suggestions, bug reports and what not as I 
don't really use this much myself as we have a pretty limited Nagios 
monitoring so CPU/Disk is generally enough for us.

You can as usual find NSClient++ at http://www.sf.net/projects/nscplus
