Issue monitoring process on windows

Hello all!

I need a little help configuring Nagios (client?) to monitor (non) 
existence of a process on a windows box (explorer.exe for example). I'm 
using client v0.3.1 and Nagios v3.0.1 with plug ins v1.4.11 on Centos 
5.1 server.

My request (or wish :-)) is: OK condition: explorer.exe IS NOT running 
CRITICAL condition: explore.exe IS running (Note that normal condition 
should be NON running process).

Check 1: - which I made locally on windows box:
I run "nsclient++ /test" on windows box and enter:
CheckProcState ShowAll explorer.exe=stopped

I get next (good) answer:
CRITICAL:CRITICAL: explorer.exe: started (critical)

Check 1 gives next entries in NSC.log:
debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:516: Injecting: CheckProcState: ShowAll, 
explorer.exe=stopped debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:536:
Injected Result: CRITICAL 'CRITICAL: explorer.exe: started (critical)'

Check 2: - which I made remotely from nagios server:
I run next command:
check_nt -H 192.168.5.3 -p 12489 -v PROCSTATE -l "explorer.exe=stopped" 
-d SHOWALL

I get next (not ok) answer:
explorer.exe: Running

Check 1 gives next entries in NSC.log:
debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:516: Injecting: checkProcState: ShowAll, 
explorer.exe=stopped, nsclient
debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:536: Injected Result: OK 'explorer.exe: Running'

(Where IP address 192.168.5.3 is my windows box).

Using nsc log on windows box, I've found the difference between Check 1 
and Check 2. It's is in injecting command. Check 2 has an additional 
“,nsclient” at the end of injecting line (without quotes). 
Unfortunately, I can't figure why there is ",nsclient" appearing in 
remote command and I don't know how to fix it. Please help.

Thanks, Stane
