How can hobbit client or its external module do NFS monitoring ?

Is there a way to monitor remote nfs server and its partition from hobbit 
server ?

command like showmount looks pretty handy to achieve the goal.

[root] showmount -e mynfsserver
export list for mynfsserver:
/export  (everyone)
/opt/sge (everyone)
[root]

Also is there a way to monitor stale NFS issue by bb or hobbit client ?
right now I am using cron job to detect nfs parition is out of reach by ls 
command.

17,55 * * * * (ok=`ls /nfsserver/README.txt`; if [ $? -eq  1 ];then echo 
"automounter has problem;run /etc/init.d/autofs reload" | /bin/mail -s "ls 
/nfsserver/README.txt failed on t-myhost"  test at test.com ;fi;)
