Another way of accomplishing this is
1 Fit your NT/2K box with the MS DumpEL program (or write your own
equiv) and have this run by AT as often as you need
Have DumpEL write the EL to a shared directory accessible to the Nag
box.
2 Have the Nag service check read the dumped EL in the share.
This can be done by
2.1 smbclient
2.2 code that I am writing (and is working) to allow read at an offset
of a file on an SMB file system - this is nothing more than a Perl XS
wrapper to the Samba read_smb() function. This saves you reading the
entire EL.
Once read, the code is easiy parsed (sh, Perl, Ruby, Python) for your
alert.

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
