This is simple enough to do outside of the daemon, so it will probably
not be implemented any time soon inside it. At least not without a
patch. Which reminds me. I've got to get going on that 2.1 release.
Now, I've been thinking about implementing a couple of internal commands
in NRPE, like memcheck and such that can easily be retrieved through a
simple syscall. Would anybody be interested in hacking up some
BSD/AIX/HPUX/Tru64 code for that? I'm thinking the equivalence of the
sysinfo(2) and statfs(2) syscalls on linux, for starters.
