Nrpe.cfg does in fact let you increase the timeout, but I was thinking that will not help because my program remains running in a loop.  Re-iterations has it check logs that it is generating.  If it is not seen as running, I mentioned that it will just start it again.  However, since it is in a loop, I am thinking that nrpe will timeout no matter how much my timeout is set to.  The setsid idea looked interesting, but unfortunately I do not see it on my server.  The last one I think was using bash to close stdout, stdin, and stderr, but it also used setsid in your example (sigh).  The alarm handle idea did not work.  That leaves the ssh check a
 gent.  I will look into that today.
