need advice

My 2 cents:

I'd use server side if I were you because that way you can have a
centralised configuration file so if you need to change the behaviour of
the script it's easy, that's why I'm going to convert all our existing
scripts to server-side (where possible).  The only time you wouldn't I
guess is if the test is specialised for a small number of systems (like
a backup script) or it's results will be specific to that server alone.

Thanks,
Jason.

Ok, I'm writing a couple of custom monitors for some tasks at the office.  These can be either client or server scripts and can easily be scripted either way.  What would you recommend for server versus client extensions?  What criteria would you use to decide?  Some guidelines would be helpful for determining which type of script to pursue.
