Passive servicecheck on NT

Sorry, but the attached zip files was filtered by the mail server. Is there
an ftp or web site where I can found this script and maybe some other good
script which I can use to monitor our environment?

 
Thanks for your help.
 
 Yes.  Thanks to Tom DeBlende who steered me in the right direction.  You
can
 use plink (part of putty) to dump commands to the linux box using ssh.
  
  
 The script Tom refers to below is a Citrix checking VB script. It and plink
 are attached.  What Tom's script does is pull the data from a registry
 value, formulate a proper nagios command enclosed in a proper linux command
 which sends the nagios command to the external command file via a plink
 command.
  
 Hope that helps,
 Dean
  
  
 Dear Dean,
  
 First of all: please find attached the zip file that contains:
  
 1) The script (you will have to change some variables in the beginning 
 of the script).
  
 2) The plink.exe file used to make the SSH connection to the Nagios 
 server.
  
 Running this as a scheduled task is a pain to set up, as you will have 
 to make sure that the hostkey is in place in the registry in the 
 default user profile 
 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys]. In other 
 words, you will have to log in with the user account that you will use 
 to run the scheduled task, run plink.exe once to connect to the Nagios 
 server, and then copy its registry key to the location shown above.
  
 Don't forget to create the passive service on the Nagios setup with 
 the exact same service name. Might be best to "tail -f" the external 
 command file first to see what's arriving though :-)

 Hi all,
 I evaluate the current features of Nagios and have one simple question. I
 know the possibility of passive service checks on a Unix host, but is it
 also possible to implement a passive service check on a Windows host?
 What I need is in interface for my scripts on the Microsoft world to
 transfer and display the result to the Nagios host.
 Thanks for your help.
