Disk check by check_by_ssh or nrpe or wrapper, which is better?

[Gattu]

Hey Guys,

Problem:

Monitoring Disk usage on remote machines.

How I solved:

wrote a wrapper plugin which will send command to remote host using nc
(netcat). On remote host, configured xinetd to run a script which will read
the command line sent by nc, parsed it and executed ./check_disk plugin.

Question:

Can the above problem be solved using check_by_ssh? If yes, i wish i can
understand how nagios will send warning emails or critical emails? And if
not the other option is nrpe... but then I will have to install nrpe on
every remote machine! is that assumption correct?

Dilemma!!!!!! help
