Lee,
Running standard Nagios checks via Cygwin sounds painful.  Have you tried
Check-MK yet? OMD makes this pretty simple and you'll be wondering why you
didn't go this route earlier.  Granted the reverse ssh tunnel w/Cygwin may
be non-standard but the rest is easy w/Check-MK.  With Check-MK I'm not
seeing any reason as to why you'd want to even mess with check_proc.   With
Check-MK's ps and ps.perf checks you can setup regular expressions to match
processes to your liking.   Ps.Perf triggers the performance monitoring and
will track total Processes, Memory Usage per Process, and CPU usage.  On
top of that all of this is configured server side with most of the
configuration done via a web interface.
