event_handlers through nrpe?

[Hari Sekhon]

my event handlers run over ssh but this doesn't seem difficult to do at 
all, just create an event handler script, copy it to the remote machine 
and then put a command in the nrpe.cfg for that machine.

[event_handler_name]=/path/my_event_handler_script.sh

then create a checkcommand like so

define command{
    command_name    blah_event_handler  
    command_line        check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c event_handler_name
}

then just add the line

event_handler    blah_event_handler

to the service definition

that should sort it.
