Nagios Reboot Notification

[Kevin Mitnikc]

So from the looks of it, this will only work with linux/unix boxes.  Is this
accurate?  I did a bit of research on NSCA and I see a client-side
configuration needed but I see it only for Linux.  I know there area few
posts on this stating to use NSCA_Win32client.

Has anybody ran the NSCA_Win32client?  Successful?  I'm still looking for
some documentation and setup instructions.
