+This is a plugin package for Nagios. Quoting from the
+main Nagios package:
+
+Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
+problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been
+designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under
+most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent
+checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins"
+which return status information to Nagios. When problems are
+encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative
+contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS,
+etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can
+all be accessed via a web browser.
