Thanks Jim,<br><br>Cron checking looks a bit complicated for us, we are newbie in Nagios.

I normally use a standalone send_nsca binary for this, but I believe it would be possible to use the nsca in NSClient++ instead. With this method you may need to set up freshness checking too so you can record when the PC is not active overnight.<br> <br>hth,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Jim<br> </font><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks<br> Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
