You'd be better off using NRPE - yes, you need NRPE and the Nagios plugins package installed on each remote server, but NRPE takes care of all the parsing output and returning the correct code to Nagios, as well as using the standard plugins so if you have another monitoring requirement in the future (e.g. RAID status or something) you just have to install another plugin - minimal effort!
