As Hari pointed it, it doesn't _have_ to, it's just the most common protocol and the one that the standard plugins are designed for. I could use PigeonProtocol if I could just teach the pigeon how to peck in the check results. If the process can be scripted, it can be used as a check plugin. It's that scripting part that can be challenging... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
