Thanks to all for the advice. I hadn't even thought of the Nagios passive check option. That sounds best for me - I'll look into it tomorrow. I haven't done anything with passive checks and freshness checking, but luckily I picked up the Nagios book - something good for bedtime reading...
As to the Nagios check plugin for bacula, I installed bacula from the bacula-mysql SuSE RPM. Unfortunately, the RPM didn't include the check plugin, and I don't have the source to compile the plugin. I guess it's time to look for a source RPM...
