• Rewrite initscript
• Add sysconfig file support
• Add systemd support (F18+ only) This is the latest release of nsca. This release increases the maximum message size from 512 characters to 4096 characters. The server is backward compatible with older nsca clients (pre 2.9.1) using the 512 characters messages as well as new nsca client (2.9.1+) using the 4096 characters messages. However, please make sure to update the server before updating the clients as the older server cannot handled messages from the newer clients.
