check_proc_count_nt

From the script itself:

This plugin uses the modified version of check_nt to
count the instances of a specific process running on a
Windows server.

This plugin relied on two specific pieces to work properly
if at all:
NC_Net (http://http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/) on the client
and
check_nt (http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/files/check_nt.c)

Both of these are fully compatible replacements for NSClient
and the default check_nt shipped with nagios plugins

If you wish to keep the original check_nt and compile the
ShatterIT version as a different plugin,
we give the option of defining where to find that plugin.

In our enviroment, we have a process that we spawn multiple instances of on a single machine. This is useful if you have a third-party application that can only support a fixed amount of memory.

We want to make sure that:

1) The minimum number of instances of a given process are running.
2) A warning is generated if more than the expected number are running so that an operator can investigate and escalate if needed.
