[Nagiosplug-help] (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Hey Grant,

If your server and client are the same OS you can just copy that  
check_nrpe plugin obviously. If not the same version you can download  
and build it for the client.

That is strange that you can run the check_nrpe plugin from the  
command line on the server OK but the console is throwing that  
message. For me if the stuff works in the command line then the  
console works too (I'm on OSX) so I'm not sure what to say about that.
