Ah yes... and how much CPU do you have to spare for SSH session setup (on 
both the systemn being monitored and your monitoring server)? And how often 
do you want to collect the data? Doing this correctly requires something 
better than:

result="`ssh server-to-monitor test-script`"

At least, it does if you want it to scale.
