howto to count number of files in particular d irectory on windows server?

[Bolduc, Blair]

We had this exact problem.
We wrote a small c program (30k) that resides on the fax-server that counts
the tif files in the fax directory and return the appropriate exit code to
nrpe_nt.
This requires that you have the check_nrpe plugin on your nagios server, and
nrpe_nt installed on the windows fax-server.
NSClient doesn't allow you to execute the exe but nrpe_nt does.

If you want more info or a copy of the code let me know.

Hello,

i am searching for possibility to count the files nuber in the particular
directory on windows server (Win NT, w2k, win2003).
I will trigger the nagios notification if the Fax-Server doesn't send faxes:
unfortunatly the fax-server runs based on windows-server and sometimes the
fax
service hangs, without the services goes down, which will be controlled by
NSClient The only symptom, i can recognize is the growing files numer in the
FAX-OUT directory...

Has anybody solved similar problem?

Thanks for all your ideas!

Alex
