[arm-allstar] Nagios Client Packages?

[Doug Crompton]

Lee,

 Just in case you haven't been using the hamvoip Allstar code for very
long... It is very reliable. I didn't want people to get the wrong
impression. I have many nodes running some with uptimes approaching a year
and hubs with 50+ users. These are on good UPS's and emergency generator
power. If you are experiencing failures and you are using hamvoip code you
probably have other issues beyond the software.
