Service name with Comma

Post by macranes »

I am trying to monitor a windows service that has a comma in its name: ANSYS, Inc. License Manager
I've tried quotes: "ANSYS, Inc. License Manager" and the result is still: ANSYS: Not found - Inc. License Manager: Not found
It appears that the comma passes the command as 2 services being monitored
Is there a way to monitor this service name even though it has a comma in it?

thanks-

This is a problem with check_nt: http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/ticket/331
The workaround is to use the nrpe functionality of nsclient to check this service:
