Occasionally it will have an error and launch multiple instances of word. I would like Nagios to be able to check to see if there is more than one instance on winword.exe running, if there is have it alert. I have used the process state from NSclient, but that won't help with multiple instance, at least that I can see. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Karl </BODY> </HTML>
