Hi,

Well, I once wrote a script that basically runs 'cat' command and uses it  
to "ping" the server - it writes some garbage every few minutes and checks  
if it gets back.

I'll play with doing it as a service on Windows and if this is trivial  
enough, I'll make it opensource.

I don't think that putting ssh client in NSClient as a plugin is a good  
way, though. I'm wondering if it can't report directly to NCSA as a long  
term solution?
