I am looking for a script that will check if the ypbind service is running on serers so nagios can monitor it.

it’s called check_procs. Simply put, it does a ps -ef|grep ypbind.
I’m running many many check_procs. Of course, you can’t check a proc that is not running on the local machine, so I installed nagios and the plugins on several machines, that will send there active server checks to the central nagios machines as passive service checks, by using the nsca plugin.
