Thanks for the replies guys.
I had seen the scripts overlap. The SNMP polls are expensive as the BE nodes are running a custom app that provides the SNMP interface and it's a little slow. On top of that, the line card the 6900's are on are a wee bit overloaded at the moment and pretty much everything is slowing down because of it.
And thanks Ib - I was going to look into the pid file thing once I caught my breath. You saved me a ton of legwork there.
I dunno why I didn't think of the HTTP check method. I've done that in the past too. Must be because I'm not getting enough sleep. I must have been a real horrible person in a past life. :)
Appreciate all the feedback guys!
