bulk update thru send_nsca

[Florian Gleixner]

Just concat results of checks together using a CR ("\n") to separate the
lines. We use a shell variable to collect the messages and then shoot it
through send_nsca. Example:

NAGOSSERV=nagiosserver
NAGIOSDIR=/usr/local/nagios
CHOST=`uname -n`
NSCAOUT=""

# check disks
for i in 10 30 40 50 60 ; do
 COUT=`$NAGIOSDIR/libexec/check_disk -w 15% -c 5% -p /dev/md/dsk/d$i`
 CERR=$?
 NSCAOUT=`echo -en "$NSCAOUT\n$CHOST\t/dev/md/dsk/d$i Free
Space\t$CERR\t$COUT\n"`
done

echo "$NSCAOUT" | $NAGIOSDIR/bin/send_nsca -H $NAGOSSERV -c
$NAGIOSDIR/etc/send_nsca.cfg > /dev/null
