check remote unix scripts

Project Notes

Various scripts to check disk, load, uptime, metastat, and other stuff via ssh or rsh on remote unix system. Developed on Solaris to check remote solaris, hp-ux and linux systems. When I started developing these scripts, my requirements were I could not run an agent, like nrpe on the remote systems. Also, in some case, I had issues compiling the check scripts on the remote systems. So I have been developing a series of check commands to check various pieces of information via ssh or rsh. I have tried to include performance data where appropriate, compatible with perfparse. 7/7/2006 - I've started porting scripts to linux (CentOS4.2) and they seem to be working fine for me. Some cleanup and documentation are still needed. But I'm using nagios again, and will try to work on this more now ;) **NOTE:** In order to make these scripts work, I run nagios as root, since I need root priveldges on the remote systems. I'm sure there is a better way, but this fits my needs. Also, you need to setup ssh keys.
