I am using eventhandlers with nrpe when a windows' service is down so i can make it starts.
That happens -not so often hopefully- with servers that are rebooting due to power failure : the Exchange Information Store service for instance is not always up automatically (strange but still...), so with a windows shell script i managed to get ride of users complains about not being able to get their emails.
You can write short scripts in perl, _vbscript_, shell bash, whatever.
You have to know exactly how to react when problems arise and that the tricky part beyond handling Nagios configuration.
I am newbie and would appreciate others feedback about how they use eventhandlers, cause that's nagios power to respond to problems...the so called proactive monitoring.

Hi James,
I just came accross your message on the nagios mailing list, and i have
exactly the same request.
I didn't see any answers on the list, so I was wondering if you have found
a solution ?
regards,
Tom.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers
Most of all of the processes and such I monitor are not on the Nagios
server. I do want to be able to use event handlers to try and
resolve things before I get paged though, so I am wondering if there
is a plug-in that can be used through NCSA or NRPE that will allow me
to run an event handler script on a remote system.
Thanks,
Zeke
