Yes, we do. It's not really great code, but I'm not a programmer/scripter.

Find enclosed
* a binary I once received from someone at Compaq (raid-status)
* a perl script (i.e. for cronjobs) (check_cpq_raid_status.pl)
* a perl script 'check_cpq_raid.pl'

Our cronjob looks like this:
*/1 * * * * root /root/check_cpq_raid_cron.pl

command.cfg:
command[check_cpq_raid_ssh]=/usr/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -l netsaint -t 60 -C './check_cpq_raid.pl'

hosts.cfg:
service[zielmaschine]=zielmaschine;..;check_cpq_raid_ssh

HTH, Jens
