No, That didn't occur to me till now. 

Ok, Lets suppose I mount my path on samba and cat the result with cat
and grep. How do I put this onto nagios? 

And there is a problem here... This should return and OK or NOT OK for
example. I'm still clueless about how to do that.

Thanks for you info anyway.

Hi - you can probably write a shell-script "wrapper" around your
check_whatever plugin and make it return whatever you wish - This is an
overly complex example, but should show you what I mean:

For the official nagios plugin development stuff, see:
