I made a rpm file for the plugins which works with fc6, and should also work with older versions (not tested). It's my first rpm so feedbacks are welcome.

All of the plugins are now in one single tgz file.
There is now an installation script, only needed if you have specific nagios directories or perl location.

Update of the script :

I released a new script for testing windows services.
It's still in beta stage as it hasn't been fully tested.
name : check_snmp_win.pl
Doc : http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/snmp_windows.html

I have difficulties to check every features of my scripts when I upgrade, so if you can test the beta versions in your environnement, please send me a mail.
Thanks !

Patrick

Updated check_snmp_mem.pl (v 0.9) :
- Added HP Procurve support
- snmp v2c support

I decided to open a project on SourceForge to host my scripts.
This project is open to anybody wanting to develop Nagios snmp oriented plugins or feature.
