Monitor Checkpoint VPN links

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

If you can script it, it can be plugged into Nagios.

My knowledge of accessing a CP FW is slim to none (and Slim just
left the building).  However, if there is some way of getting into
it remotely (eg, ssh session), and if there's a way to issue a
CP FW command to make the necessary queries, then it stands to
reason that you could write a Nagios plugin script to gather
and report as required.

Food for thought.
