If you can provide it with that data then yes, I can't see why not.

Write a script similar to the following:



===============================================
count the objects in this folder

if the number of objects is higher than "a" then Return the number of
objects found and exitcode = 1
if the number of objects is higher than "b" then Return the number of
objects found and exitcode = 2
if the number of objects is higher than "c" then Return the number of
objects found and exitcode = 3
==============================================

This will allow you to set OK, critical and warning levels for the
number of files if you wish.  If not, ensure that your app exits with
an exit code of 1 and it will always show as OK.

HTH,

M.
