nrpe is used to execute Nagios plugins on remote hosts and report the results
to the main Nagios server. From the Nagios homepage:
Allows you to execute "local" plugins (like check_disk, check_procs, etc.) on
remote hosts. The check_nrpe plugin is called from Nagios and actually makes
the plugin requests to the remote host. Requires that nrpe be running on the
remote host (either as a standalone daemon or as a service under inetd).
nrpe2 is incompatible with nrpe version 1, if you are running this version
see net-mgmt/nrpe. Both ports can be installed in parallel but share the same
configuration file by default. This is easily changed in the nrpe startup
file.

===> The following configuration options are available for nrpe-2.14:
ARGS=off: Enable command argument processing **Security Risk**
SSL=off: Enable SSL support (disables plain-text server)
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- update nrpe to version 2.15
- add stage support
- move from net-mgmt/nrpe2 -> net-mgmt/nrpe
to reflect the port and package name
Changes:
2.15 - 09/06/2013
-----------------
- Now compiles on HP-UX (Grant Byers)
- Added support for IPv6 (Leo Baltus, Eric Stanley)
Stop checking for get_pidfile_from_conf function in rc.subr.
It is present in all supported versions of FreeBSD, and has had poor takeup.
I strongly suspect the strange-looking checks are partially to blame for
scaring maintainers off.
Go forth and please use it!
PR: ports/178269
Approved by: maintainers of all ports involved
Fix the currently-broken rc.d script:
1. Tidy up the header
2. nrpe2 runs as an unpriviliged user, so REQUIRE: LOGIN is manadatory
3. Move load_rc_config up higher
4. Since _enable and _configfile are mandatory they should use :=
5. Only sets command_args once, and puts -d last as is traditional.
6. Pulls the pidfile from nrpe.cfg, which means it only has to be set once.
Improve rc script handling of pidfile, and do a few optimisations

While here, copy over default config file on install
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
- Modify rc.d script to allow administrator to change PID file location
without editing rc.d script. New knob nrpe2_pidfile is provided for
this and it defaults to the old value of the PID file.

- Update to 2.12
Included in this PR is reload support requested by ports/126476 in addition to a
change in the location of the PID file. I have however opted to move this file
to
NAGIOSDIR to reduce the number of directories created by all Nagios related
ports.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

- Update to NRPE 2.11.
- Finally bump the port to the current version after remaining at 2.7 for a
while
due to garbage characters being returned by nrpe2. Issue was caused by the
reading command buffer not being \0 terminated. This has been resolved in CVS
but has been back-ported for now.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
