Distributed Environment: NRDP & Network Latency

G'day Guys,
Aside from "Service and Host Freshness Checking" is there a way to ensure send_nrdp.sh commands successfully send results over WAN links with potentially high latency?
I hope I've been clear in my question.

Yes, the send_nrdp.sh script will return with an error message and error code if it can't send something to the server.

Thanks mate.
Is it possible to set a retry or timeout value?

You can call it with the following flag
And it will store unsuccessful attempts in /path/to/temp/dir and retry sending them the next time the script is called
Otherwise you would need to modify the script adding
after wget on line 90

Thanks mate.
Is wget preferable over curl?
If so, do I simply swap the order in the shell script?

Not really much of a difference either way. Some base installs of Linux don't ship with wget anymore, but most ship with curl.
