I wrote a script to reload nrpe on OpenBSD. You can easily start nrpe at boot up, but I grew tired of manually killing then launching nrpe each time I updated the nrpe.cfg file

Simple script, download it or copy paste below into your own .sh file.

#Get present npre process ID
PID=`ps -aux |grep nrpe |grep -v root | awk '{print $2}'`

#If process ID was found, kill it
if [ $PID ]
then
kill $PID
echo "Killed nrpe process with PID $PID"
fi

#Restart nrpe service
/usr/local/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg -d

#Wait for process to start, otherwise PID is null
sleep 3

#Get new process ID and echo it to shell
NEW=`ps -aux | grep nrpe | grep -v root | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "Restarted nrpe with PID $NEW"#
