Check_MK use /etc/check_mk/mrpe.d instead of /etc/check_mk/mrpe.conf

# Workaround for check_mks inability to use scripts from a mrpe.d directory

# Make sure mrpe.cfg doesn't exist, or you will end up with two <<<mrpe>>>

if [ "$(ls -A /etc/check_mk/mrpe.d)" ] ; then
    echo '<<<mrpe>>>'
    grep -rhEv '^[[:space:]]*($|#)' "/etc/check_mk/mrpe.d" |
    while read descr cmdline
    do
        PLUGIN=${cmdline%% *}
        OUTPUT=$(eval "$cmdline")
        echo -n "(${PLUGIN##*/}) $descr $? $OUTPUT" | tr \\n \\1
        echo
    done
fi

This is a pretty neat way to do this, and non-intrusive and pretty much what the original check would do.

Find the original code below:

if [ -e "$MK_CONFDIR/mrpe.cfg" ]
then
    echo '<<<mrpe>>>'
    grep -Ev '^[[:space:]]*($|#)' "$MK_CONFDIR/mrpe.cfg" | \
    while read descr cmdline
    do
        PLUGIN=${cmdline%% *}
        OUTPUT=$(eval "$cmdline")
        echo -n "(${PLUGIN##*/}) $descr $? $OUTPUT" | tr \\n \\1
        echo
    done
fi
