Here's a bunch of my NT checks from the checkcommand.cfg file. Sorry,
some of the lines are wrapped due to length...

There you have it. It works really well here in my NT-centric
environment. We are a Win2k/Novell shop here, the only Linux we have at
the moment is what I'm using for monitoring via Nagios, MRTG, Ntop, and
a few other things. Learning as I go... =)
