[Plugins-writers] Check for an application

I'm attempting to write a plugin to test for the presence of a specific
application on a client's machine.  Problem is I won't have admin access
to any of them. I'm wondering if it's possible to do ANY ONE of the
following tasks without having admin rights to a client machine:

 

1) Check for the presence of a service and if possible whether it is
active or not

 

OR

 

2) Check for the presence of a specific file on the client system

 

OR

 

3) Check for the presence of an active connection on the client machine
using a dynamic source address to a another specific server on a
specific static destination port. For example, using netstat -a (in
windows), this is the type of connection I would need to detect:

 

Proto     Local Address                                        Foreign
Address                                     State

TCP      <localmahine>:<dyn source port>          <specific
server>:<static dest port>        CLOSE_WAIT

 

Thanks!

 

Ryan
