-# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
-# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
-# are in the following format:
-#
-# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
-#
-# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
-# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
-#
-# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
-# typed exactly as it should be executed.
-#
-# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
-# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
-# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
-# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
-# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
-# examples only!
-
-
-# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...
-# This is by far the most secure method of using NRPE

-# The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can
-# only be used if the NRPE daemon was compiled with support for
-# command arguments *AND* the dont_blame_nrpe directive in this
-# config file is set to '1'.  This poses a potential security risk, so
-# make sure you read the SECURITY file before doing this.
