I'll let my friend google answer that one, because he is more worldly
and knowledgeable than I:

Short Answer:  NSCA is a daemon that accepts check results from the
network on behalf of nagios.

I thought your question pre-supposed the script was local to the server
box?  If you are on a remote host you can submit results via NSCA (see
link above).  You could, of course, always just script a web transaction
using the CGI's, but that's soooooo 1997. :)

Also, please always reply on-list so other people can learn from your
experience.
