I use the Cygnus ports of the GNU tools (www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32) and
the PERL 5 DBI and DBD modules (www.hermetica.com) on my own NT box to allow
me to resuse some of the normal Unix monitoring scripts. They are not
supported by Microsoft, but do work well.
It would be nice to have a real scripting language supplied by MS, but until
then we are stuck with using 3rd party tools.
