RE: [Nagios-devel] NRPE on Windows Host?

[<Mic...@mi...>]

I think I hit the thread you are mentioning. Too sad no one followed up on
this, could have saved me some hours...

However I got my fingers dirty, and have nrpe running on windows based on
nrpe-2.0b3.
It's not doing ssl connections and command arguments yet, but it's a start.

If there has any interest in it, I think I can have something available for
a peek during next week.

cheers
MiWi

For some reason this sounds familiar.  I'm tempted to say that someone on
the nagios-users mailing list suggested this 2-3 months ago, and was
planning to take a crack at it.  I've not heard anything since.
