ping, telnet, ssh, from nagios-core website

[Mike Guthrie]

Looks like someone did come up with a patch for the CGI's that would 
allow multiple action URL's, but it may take some playing around to get 
it to do what you want it to do. Although there may be other addon 
projects that do this already that I'm unaware of.

To my knowledge you can't use a browser to access ssh, ping, telnet etc. 
You'd need some sort of a custom API to be able to run those commands 
for you from the command line.

Nagios XI (commercial version of Nagios) does have some of these quick 
actions. Image is attached.
