NAME

       nrpe - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor - Server

SYNOPSIS

       nagios-nrpe -c <config_file> <mode>

DESCRIPTION

       The purpose of this addon is to allow you to execute Nagios plugins on a remote host in as transparent a manner as possible.

       This  program  runs  as	a background process on the remote host and processes command execution requests from the check_nrpe plugin on the
       Nagios host.

OPTIONS

	      <config_file> = Name of config file to use

	      <mode>	    = One of the following two operating modes:

       -i     =    Run as a service under inetd or xinetd

       -d     =    Run as a standalone daemon

       Notes: This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe plugin on the host(s) running Nagios.  It  can  run  as	a  service
       under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized host, NRPE
       will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the check_nrpe plugin.

NAME

       Nagios - network/systems status monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       nagios [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>

DESCRIPTION

       nagios  is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more. For more information, please
       consult the online documentation available at http://www.nagios.org, or on your nagios server's web page.

OPTIONS

       main_config_file
	      The main configuration file.  On openSUSE systems this defaults to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

       -h     A helpful usage message

       -v     Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify  your  config
	      data before (re)starting Nagios. You can also use the Nagios init script to verify your configuration - try: rcnagios check_verbose

       -s     Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files.

       -d     Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).

FILES

       /etc/nagios
	      Default configuration directory for nagios
