This plugin is intended for the server to check whether the client is up
or not. So normally, you define a check on the server that invokes the
plugin directly.

But when you want to use this plugin on the client, this is not a
problem. Just define a nrpe check on the server and use nrpe to
translate it into the check_ping.
