If multiple interfaces are selected, all must be up to get an OK result

Get help | ./check_snmp_win.pl -h
snmpv3 login | ./check_snmp_win.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -l login -x passwd
Check if at least one process matching dns is running | ./check_snmp_win.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -C public -n dns
Result example : | 1 services active (matching "dns") : OK
Check if at least 3 process matching dns are running | ./check_snmp_win.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -C public -n http -N 2
Result example : (<=2 will return warning, 0 critical) | 1 services active (matching "dns") : CRITICAL
Check if dns and ssh services are running | ./check_snmp_win.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -C public -n dns,ssh
Result example : | "dns" active, "ssh" active : OK
