Script to probe service status in Nagios

[Miah, W (Wadud)]

I should have clarified exactly what I meant in my previous email. Is
there a script that connects to the Nagios front end that can determine
the state of a service/host? I must be able to execute this cript from
any Linux/Unix host. For example,

[nagios at host1]$ ./check_nagios_service -H http://nagios.rl.ac.uk/nagios
--host=server --service=nscd
service nscd on host server is OK
[nagios at host1]$ echo $?
0
[nagios at host1]$ ./check_nagios_service -H http://nagios.rl.ac.uk/nagios
--host=server --service=httpd
service httpd on host server is CRITICAL
[nagios at host1]$ echo $?
2
[nagios at host1]$ 

where http://nagios.rl.ac.uk/nagios is the Nagios front end, host is the
host that runs the service nscd. 

Thanks in advance.
