[SLUG] Anyone good with NAGIOS? I need to remotely monitor several boxes.

I use nagios a little to monitor some servers at one location and such. But I have a tough one here.

A friend called me up today looking for a solution.

Problem:
A friend of his has a business with about 9 computers running various programs in windows and DOS (I know I know)
For example one only does shipping labels, another does inventory, etc. these are all controlled from 1 monitor/keyboard/mouse, with a KVM switch.

The problem is that being windows the programs occasionally lock up. Not the whole computer mind you (that happens too) but the program will crash or freeze. Since no one is looking at the screen it is hours or days till the problem is noticed.

 I am not familiar enough with nagios to write plug-ins. I was wondering if it's possible for nagios to somehow monitor a remote process? Perhaps through SNMP?
While windows may be the problem here, I was hoping Linux was the answer.

Any ideas on a solution to this would be appreciated :)
