There’s check_mssql.sh in the latest nagios plugins’ contrib folder. This check command only works with SQLServer 7 and 2000, though.

To make it work with SQLServer 2005, you only need to change 1 line in the script. Find this line:

echo -e "select loginame from sysprocesses where spid > $spid ...

and change it to

echo -e "select loginame from sys.sysprocesses where spid > $spid ...

Now, if your freetds installation (the actual SQLServer client that does all the magic) supports SQLServer 2005, you can run the script as though you’re checking a SQLServer 2000 installation.
