Easily building service dependencies on Nagios 2?

[Clyde Jones]

Hello everyone,

 I am trying to build up a large number of service dependencies for some
checks (e.g. all the NRPE checks are dependent on a check of NRPE so
that I get the correct error notification)  However, I have ~500 checks
using NRPE.  Is there an easier way of building the dependencies than
writing all 500 into a config file?  I am using service and host groups
to assign most of these service checks (e.g. the nrpe_nt service groups
assigns the basic checks for my 50 or so windows servers) 

I have looked through the documentation but I don't see anything about
using wildcards or groups to assign dependencies.  

I was hoping I could use groups to create service dependencies, since it
will be the same for every server in the hostgroup.

I do realize I can script the config file creation, but maintenance will
be so much easier with host groups.

Thanks!
