sqlservr.exe: not running

I have tried restarting it, but still does not work.

Have you tried posting your question on the NSClient++ support forum? I am at loss with this one. I would recommend upgrading/reinstalling the NSClient++ agent to see if this is going to fix your issue.

I upgraded to 4.3 and it still does the same thing....I opened a post on NSClient++ support page...

Could this be a permissions issue with the NSClient because the service is running as an NT Service? Ideas anyone?

Mine is just running as the local system account.

If you enable debugging on NSClient++ and then try running the command what does the nsclient.log say?

Looks like normal start up logging. I forced a check in the nagios console and the log didn't even register activity.

Can you run the following on your MSSQL server and post it here? What is the IP address of the nagios system?

C:\Windows\system32>tasklist /SVC |find "sqlservr.exe"
sqlservr.exe 3940 MSSQLSERVER

A few post back you said

I forced a check in the nagios console and the log didn't even register activity.

Kind of points to that the check command is using the wrong IP address of your MSSQL server.
Can you verify that it is using the correct address?
What is the IP address of the Nagios server and the MSSQL server?

Crap.....the ultimate rookie mistake.....I have checked everything ten times over...everything except the command IP.

Wow.......
