Checking McAfee is running?

Hi,

   Does anyone out there check whether McAfee is running?

Ideally this should just be one check in nagios for all 3 services that 
make up McAfee Enterprise Anti-Virus on each server, I don't want to 
bloat the monitoring interface and notifications.

I rustled something up a while back which just goes and checks the 3 
services. This was kind of cheap, since it was a bash script that took 
args then then just ran 3 check_nt calls against NSClient++ from the 
nagios server. Obviously this is not so good, since it's 3 times the 
work that it should be and is more likely to time out (and I really hate 
timeouts).

If you do check McAfee, what to you do?
