Hi,<br>
<br>
hmm i run netcmd plugin and the collectd-nagios over tcp successfully :). Okay its<br>
a very little test setup at the moment but it works...<br>
<br>
If you would change this the only difference would be that the user must explicit say<br>
to what he would like to connect to, unix or tcp.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

their monitoring installation lit up like a christmas tree ;)<br>

Seriously though, I don't think that'd be a big problem, but it'd be a<br>
backwards incompatible change nontheless. Besides, where do you want to<br>
connect *to*? The TCP sockets thingy was implemented to be equipped for<br>
the future, but to my knowledge noone has improved the “netcmd”<br>
plugin [0] to be ready for inclusion yet, so there isn't actually any<br>
server code who could handle the connection.<br>
