NRPE in AIX5L...?

[Trevor Warren]

Have tired many a time to get nrpe running on aix but never have had a
smooth experience.  Aix n HpUX have always been issues to get up and running
on.

We ended up writing our own plugins on the older *nix boxes. But now even
those are outdated and have be to redone for AIX5L. Some of us
needs(probably i will sometime soon) to take ownership on the aix front.
This is the only way we will ever get stable plugins for aix/hpux/solaris.

Is there a plugin roadmap on the risc front?.

"You cannot see me, yet I am the light you see by. You cannot hear me, yet I
speak through your voice. You cannot feel me, yet I am the power at work in
your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand my ways. I am not
strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know me as I am, and then
but as a feeling and a faith. Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. -anon
