I'm looking for a Linux-based tool that will let me making simple WMI

Yes, I know that I can use NSClient++ (or equivalent) on the Windows
server to listen for my check_npre commands, but I'm hoping that there
is a quick and dirty *nix-based tool that will let me do this
without having to resort to always having to install NSClient++.
I've also been looking at this recently, and it looks like things like
wbemcli can be used from linux, but iirc this requires a wmi gateway
which means installing some server software, and this is much more
hassle than just using nsclient++. A couple of open source wbem gateways
that I came across were OpenWbem and OpenPegasus, although I've not had
time to try either yet so I can't vouch for how good they are.
Although relying on nsclient++ is not as pure as just a straight wmi
query, you only really need 1 nsclient++ installation, from which you
can run wmi queries against any number of windows machines on your network.
I am also very interested in this stuff at the moment, so please let me
know what you figure out on this.
