[AGENT++] AgentX master/subagents: trap recipients? access controls?

I have the same sort of request here, except that it is for Windows. Since
we are already using AgentX, it would obviously be best to have a subagent
that queries the API to get that sort of information. Has anyone done an
Agent++-Agent for HOST-RESOURCES? It doesn't have to be an AgentX-subagent,
because that could easily be converted.

The master is the master is the master ;-)
