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. +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Jason Thomas <jason@debian.org>, +for the Debian project (but may be used by others). |
