Hi The wincheck_counter plugin has to be on a w2k or 2003 box. The plugin to get the information is check_nrpe from the Linux/unix site.
If you want to get info from remote hosts (linux) you need a NRPE or via SNMP Example Here are some samples of monitoring stuff you can do with the counter.

However, I only noticed a .dll file and an .exe file. I am assuming that these will not work under *NIX installations of Nagios? If not, is there a plugin comparable to this for running on *NIX-based Nagios configurations? -- Robert Wolfe (MCP/Linux+) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.shatterit.com Linux: Improvise! Adapt!
