So it is the windows machine that will launch the scripts on the Unix machine.   Would this be done by SSH or any other manner?   Thx   Steven Battaille Advanced Projects & Products Belgium Hi Steven, You could use ssh -T to run a single command and quit. The command would gather results for you and give those results to Nagios in the Windows machine. Let's say you want to know how much space you got left on you partitions. You can build up a single line of command to use "df" and sed/grep/awk your way to receive how much space is left for each partition. You could also gather all the df output and use windows executables/scripts to check it out and tell nagios if everything is OK or if some Warning or Critical message is needed. Got the idea? Besides that, you could use external checks, like check_dns. check_dns will try to resolv hosts using nslookup thru your server and tell you if it worked, so you can implement those kinds of checks also... For now I can't think of anything else, if I do I will let you know.
