=head1 NAME

get_data - An NRPE program to transfer data collected by run_passive_check.sh.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<get_data.pl>
[B<-h>, B<--help>]
[B<-V>, B<--version>]
[B<-t>, B<--timeout>]
[B<-v>, B<--verbose>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Configure the "my $datafile = " line, below. Then put a line like:

=over 4

command[get_data]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/local/get_data.pl

=back

in your nrpe.cfg. When called by NRPE, this script returns one line of data
from the configured data file, removes that line and save the rest (if any) for
the next time get_data.pl gets run.

Use the nrpe_client.py program to call the NRPE system to run get_data.pl.
