Monitoring a two word service

Post by digitalbennu »

Mac OS X 10.8.3 machine and I am trying to monitor a service with two words in the name.

I am not having problems monitoring a single word service like "Mail" but when I try and service like "FileMaker Pro" I get the error Unknown argument PRO.

Since this is UNIX i tried putting "\ /" between the words but didn't seem to work.

Have you tried singled and double quotes? What types of plugins/remote executor are you using?

I figured this one out....So to monitor something like FileMaker Pro which in the service list shows as 'FileMaker Pro" you need to introduce ' between the words....So FileMaker Pro becomes 'FileMaker' 'Pro'

Correct, that is the format that must be used. Glad to see you got it!
