[TUTORIAL] Putting some client into NSClient++

I have posted yet another tutorial this time on using hte client interface to both use NSClient++ as a client but also how to create various forms of proxies and such as well as accessing the clients from scripts.

NSClient++ despite its name is most often used in server mode responding to remote calls via either NRPE or check_nt. The closest thing to a client we get in normal mode of operation is NSCA where we submit data back. But NSClient++ can act as a client as well which is not just something I use for unit testing but something which can actually be useful in your monitoring environment. A good example of a really useful feature is creating a proxy or use NSClient++ as proxies to add intelligence (see my post earlier on writing stateful scripts Enhance your monitoring with stateful scripts).

New nightly build might fix NSCA issues...

Hello all (not an April fools joke, BTW). I pushed a new nightly build last night which might actually fix the NSCA cant send all data sometimes issue. Please let me know how it works out!
