You don't need a whole Nagios to do that. You can just run PSLIST to get a list of all processes and use FINDSTR to search for the process name. Then you can use the errorlevel from FINDSTR to send you an email if it does not find the process in the list.

I have a service that kicks off a couple of executables and want to know if I can have Nagios alert me if they aren't there.
