nagios-snapshot: a cmdline tool for quickly grabbing nagios data

[Josh Yost]

Hi,
	In the spirit of giving back to the Nagians, I've put on
www.nagiosexchange.org under Utilities (called 'Snapshot') a command
line Perl tool which I wrote & have been using to parse the main
'Services Detail' page & pull back the hostname & Status Info for any
service I want (I'm too lazy to even open a browser).

It groups each service together when you run it for multiple services &
is easily customizable.  It uses a .conf file to dynamically generate
your cmdline options by what you've defined as services.  The conf file
is just:
	service+name = search string1,search string2,etc

So the output would look something like this (the email may screw up the
formatting):

$ ./nagios-snapshot --OpenSSH --OpenL --user=blah --pass=blah

There may already be something out there like this - I have no idea.
But if you use it, I hope it helps!
