For a couple of very case-specific monitors, for which the generic
plugin wasn't sufficient, I ended up writing quick bash scripts instead.
It ended up being much quicker than using the generic one for these
specific situations.  (and could have been Perl, or PHP command line, or
tcsh, or just about anything else that does the check and exits the
right way.)

Might be worth a look.
