I've added a quick and dirty monitor that might be of some use to
someone here: http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/monitors:winupd
 
At the moment its very basic in that it only checks for pending reboots
required as a result of windows updates applied to a windows client.
This has been useful here on site as sometimes updates are applied to
production servers but downtime is not alllowed.. This monitor serves as
a reminder to reboot to finish applying the updates
 
If you think you can enhance the script please do. My vb is poor..
