Question: is there any interest in a WMI client for Linux?

 From a monitoring perspective, what more would you need than WMI?  You get
direct access to the perfmon counters and hardware enumeration.  You can even
enumerate services and their state via WMI (the Win32_BaseService object).

Beyond that, Nagios itself covers the rest of the need, monitoring wise.

I am open to suggestions though!
