Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

How do I run check_winservice from nagios? I have successfully run it from target windows server but trying to invoke it with either command not found or nagios help prompt.

Since it looks like you're using nsclient you'd want to add a command to nsclient.ini under scripts something like the following:

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_winservice = scripts\\check_winservice.exe $ARGS$

Then create a service in Nagios to run the command with the desired arguments on the Windows host.

That said, nsclient has an internal check_service command that can be used to check Windows services.
