Chris,

thank you. However, I am aware of check_by_ssh, and it requires plugins to be 
present on the remote system.

My intention is to have near zero client configuration for any unix client.

ssh framework seems to be a similar idea, but still a bit more complex.

I attach the latest version of my plugin, since I've been fixing a few bugs 
and added features since my last post.


Sincerely,
Carl Ekman
