# Client Mode

The main goal of client mode is to do things you would normally do remotely, locally. For instance you would normally run CheckProcess? via check_nrpe from your Nagios machine, but you can do the exact same using nscp client –query CheckProcess. This can be useful in many instances such as debugging commands (locally) or executing check_nrpe from a windows machine etc.

Client has three (ish) modes of operation:

- ‘’‘–query’‘’ To execute a query against a module.
- ‘’‘–exec’‘’ To execute a command against a module.
- ‘’‘–submit’‘’ To submit a response via any of the passive protocols.
