The statements above are part of a check_multi config file (NRPE stylish).

check_multi started as a wrapper plugin to call multiple child checks. But 
with the state evaluation described in 
http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/configuration/file#state_definition 
it can be used for sophisticated setups, business views etc.
Examples can be found in 
http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/process_views and 
http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/eval
