Checking URL on windows-client using NSClient++

[jvc_dvl557 at hotmail.com]

Hi,

I would like to check if a certain website is available on some of my windows xp clients. These clients are public self-service computers to make bookings for a railway organisation. Every now and then, some of these self-service computers show a blank screen without the default start-page. 

I would like to check if the page is shown up and if it's not, it notifies Nagios which notifies me by email.

I've tried to run an external script (vbs) which checks the availability of the site and that goes well if you use it manually but i dont want any popups saying: "OK". It should run in the background. So i've edited the vbs file and now it does check it and doesnt give any output anymore.

Has anyone else tried something like this before?

I use NSClient++ and Nagios v3.0.6.

Kind Regards,

Dennis de Vries.
