Announce: check_vnc - Plugin to test VNC including vnc authentication

[Hari Sekhon]

Hi all,

   I have just released another plugin on NagiosExchange to test VNC on 
remote machines including vnc authentication and fetching a screenshot 
(at lowest quality in order to make the test very fast).

./check_vnc -H somemachine --passwd-file vncpass --timing
OK: vnc logged in and image obtained successfully. Test completed in 
0.300 seconds

./check_vnc -H somemachine -f vncpass --verbose
OK: vnc logged in and image obtained successfully. VNC server supports 
protocol version 3.8 (viewer 3.3)

This is a re-write of a plugin I've had working since 2006 and which 
some people had asked me for previously but wasn't in a release-worthy 
state at that time.
As usual it follows the Nagios coding standards with a self timeout and 
increasing verbosity and -vvv debugging.


You can get the plugin here:

Feedback always welcome. For bug reports, feature requests etc contact 
me at this address.

Thanks
