Running check_nagios by ssh

[Lehman, John]

Hello,
I am trying to run the check_nagios command from one machine to another.
(slave to master)

I can run the following from the command prompt on the "slave" machine:

Note: the master I am checking is 10.130.4.80

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 10.130.4.80 -l smadmin-sec -i
home/smadmin-sec/.ssh/id_dsa -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios
/var/log/nagios/status.log 5 'nagios'"


I get the following as a response:

Nagios ok: located 1 process, status log updated 3 seconds ago



My question is, can I use the "response" to determine whether the master
is up and if not I want the slave to take over?

I thought this might be a simple and easy way to set up failover????

Thanks.
