RE: POP check plugin?

Hi Katherine,

there's a 'check_pop' plugin available for Netsaint which I use just to
check the POP-service availability.

/usr/local/netsaint/libexec> ./check_pop --help
check_pop (netsaint-plugins 1.2.9-4) 1.6.2.1

I guess you could play around with the '--expect=STRING' switch.

Keep me (us) posted.


Best regards,
