Maybe I can help get you 50% there. I have basically the same problem, but on a Linux system. In my case, I needed to monitor if a once-a-day backup script has run and has completed successfully. I documented that approach in the bacula wiki at http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=nagios
The idea is to create a passive check for each of your scripts. When the script completes successfully, use send_nsca to send the result to the Nagios server. Optionally, I am also sending a check result when the script starts, and if it completes with an error. The part I can't help you with is how to actually do a send_nsca from Windows. I think send_nsca exists for Windows as well, but if not, you might have to cobble something together using NSClient++. If I understand you right, you also have the problem that you have too many scripts and don't want to modify each one for monitoring? If that's the case, simply write a wrapper script that calls the actual script based on a command-line argument. Then change all your scheduler entries to call that wrapper instead of the actual script. That wrapper script could accept additional arguments so you can also specify the text in the check result to be used. Joseph L.
