file existence check

[Neil]

I forgot guys that I should have mentioned NRPE here too. The file that I 
was checking resides on a windows machine. 

I just finished writing a WMI program that checks the uploaded file from the 
vendor. The format of the filename is Daily_Interface_Omni_20040707.txt. I 
then created 2 checks which will check the file with the most current date 
and the other check which will check yesterday's file. This file gets 
uploaded to us at around 8PM PST. I have put it in production and is now 
working. I have to play around with the notification period so that it won't 
send any emails during saturday nights. 

But, all your inputs are also welcome since I will also be creating a check 
for other Unix machines.
