# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| nagios-plugins: nagios-plugins (Plugins for the Nagios network monitoring server) nagios-plugins: nagios-plugins: Unlike many other monitoring tools, Nagios does not include any nagios-plugins: internal mechanisms for checking the status of hosts and services on nagios-plugins: your network. Instead, Nagios relies on external programs (called nagios-plugins: plugins) to do all the dirty work. Plugins are compiled executables or nagios-plugins: scripts (Perl scripts, shell scripts, etc.) that can be run from a nagios-plugins: command line to check the status or a host or service. nagios-plugins: nagios-plugins: http://www.nagios.org/ nagios-plugins:
