check_vmware_server

This is just a quick powershell script(my first one infact) that uses the vmrun command from VMware Server 2.0 to check if the server is running and to check that atleast one VM is running(I didn't make this configurable simply because it wasn't important for me). I have a specific need of running VMware Server and this solves my issue of how to monitor VMware Server.


To install place check_vmware_server.ps1 into scripts dir of your nsclient++ install dir and in nsclient.ini put(if you don't already have):
Minimal settings in nsclient.ini to add to an already working NRPE setup:

; A list of wrappped scripts (ie. using the template mechanism)
[/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts]
check_vmware_server = check_vmware_server.ps1 -username username -password password -hostname https://myvmwareserver:8333/sdk

; A list of templates for wrapped scripts
[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]

; POWERSHELL WRAPPING -
ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -
