Monitoring Open Ports

[Matt Baer]

For the most part, this works. However, the problem is that it requires that ALL open ports be accepted as parameters. I want to specify the ports to check. For example, if port 8081 is open, it may not always be open, then I get the stupid notification. I don't want to monitor port 8081, I want to monitor 25,80,110,143, etc.

A quick google for 'nagios nmap' yields this result that looks 
promising --
