+This Nagios addon is designed to provide a way for executing plugins on
+a remote host. The check_nrpe plugin runs on the Nagios host and is used
+to send plugin execution requests to the nrpe agent on the remote
+host. The nrpe agent will then run an appropriate plugins on the
+remote host and return the plugin output and return code to the
+check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios host.
