NTP Monitoring with APM

Is there a way to monitor NTP without using SNMP on a linux box? I basically want a monitor that does an NTP check and replies with a valid time..

I'm pretty confident in saying that you could accomplish this using the Linux/Unix Script Monitor. My only concern would be how APM interprets the script output (current time) since it normally expects a numeric value.

I don't think there are any native Windows libraries to allow vbscript to talk to an NTP server, so you could either install something like www.activexperts.com/.../ and use that in a vbscript, or possibly install ActivePerl and use PerlScript.
