nsclient counters - detect increase / decrease

[Mark Leddy]

I have been able to run nsclient and check_nt to return the counters.
Works real nice!

Does anyone have or could anyone tell me some specifics on how I could check 
the values returned against the previous check to see if the counter(s) 
incremented, and if the counter has not incremented to give a warning or 
critical status, alert, etc.?

One of the areas this would help is checking smtp mail flow, with Exchange 
and Lotus Notes where a simple too high/ too low threshold does not apply.

Thanks,
Mark
