random nrpe socket timeout

[Simon Finch]

>> i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts when the nrpe socket timeout. 

If you add the -u switch to the nrpe_check it will return a status of unknown for the nrpe timeouts instead of critical.
The second thing is to add a check on nrpe itself and then setup all of the checks that are run by nrpe as dependancies of the nrpe check.
This will stop all of the remote checks from generating critical alerts if the nrpe check times out.
