Hi Michael,
Sorry that wasn't clear.  I was more concerned with abandoning the use
of snmp traps and perhaps using some other remote interface like rest
for example in order to submit results.

I am trying to avoid something like nsclient for example which doesn't help.
The instance I am monitoring may have its own facility for code execution
or I may not want additional software on either endpoint. Submitting checks
through an existing api would be convenient. However I wasn't opposed to
setting up a rest based service that wrote to the cmd pipe.

Yup, this is exactly what I do.
Thanks,
