New w32 nightly up! (not as broken as 0.3.2 I hope)

Sorry everyone for the rather sorry 0.3.2 last month I have (due to my water leak) not been able to spend as much time as I wanted on NSClient++ last month so I haven't been able to fix a new version till now.

New nightly (NSClient++-Win32-20080614-1856.*) has the mem-leak fix as well as all the other post 0.3.1 updates such as regexp support and working check-services and such. I shall add some patches and see if there are any other minor things I can fix up and then try to ship a 0.3.3 during the next week. Hopefully my water leak will be sorted the coming week and then I shall also start shipping nightlies of the new 0.4.x branch wich some pretty cool new features :)

Highlights (since 0.3.1):

  • New Task-schedule checker (let me know what you think of it it is a just an idea)
  • Memory leak fix!!!
  • command line option for check process
  • reg-exp support for check-process
  • improvments and such here and there

Full changelog here:

2008-06-14 MickeM
 * Fixed error message from external commands (better reporting now)

2008-05-14 MickeM
 * Fixed memoryleak in the service checker.
     I am really sorry I usualy write better code then this.

2008-04-03 MickeM
 * Moved COM init to "core" (from WMI module)
 + Added new Check command: CheckTaskSched Use like so:
     CheckTaskSched +filter-exit-code==1 ShowAll MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1

2008-03-21 MickeM
 + Added command line support for process checks
   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
 + Added substring matching to process checks
   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the  :)

 + Added option (cache_hostname=1|0) to cache the NSCA host name (Ie. only lookup once)
