A plug-in for Nagios to check the a terminal server is runing ?

Hi,

> Is there a plugin the tests if a terminal server is up and running ?

What kind of terminal server? Citrix?

I am using a perl script that emulates the ICA protocol by replaying captured packets and checks for published applications. I don't know anymore where I originally downloaded it, but I attach it below. Place in a file in your nagios/libexec directory, then reference in checkcommands.cfg.

Cheers,
Carsten

# New plugin to check the ICA browse service (used by Citrix Metaframe servers) from
# Ed Rolison and Tom De Blende.

Is there a plugin the tests if a terminal server is up and running ?
 
I could just check the terminal services, but sometimes, they continue to "run", while the terminal server is not accepting new connections.
 
And some of our terminal servers are using load balancing, and the clients connects to at fictional IP adresse for the "cluster"
