That's a bit bizarre. I just tested by actually running wordpad on one of my test servers: $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u -c CheckProcState -a ShowAll wordpad.exe=running OK: wordpad.exe: 1 And running two instances of Wordpad: $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u -c CheckProcState -a ShowAll wordpad.exe=started OK: wordpad.exe: 2 And after stopping wordpad: $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u -c CheckProcState -a ShowAll wordpad.exe=started CRITICAL: wordpad.exe: stopped (critical) I would go in to task manager on the system which is running wordpard, look in the processes tab and make absolutely sure the process which is running is called "wordpard.exe". If it isn't it may be that a virus has renamed the binary to something else. For the record, for that test I was using NSClient++ version 0.3.5.2 32-bit. The other version I commonly use is 0.3.5.1 . I would also check the nsclient.log file. If still no joy, set debug=1 in the [log] section of nsc.ini and see if debug will throw any more light on it. Make sure on your Nagios server that "aks4mpp02" resolves to the correct IP address for the server you are interested in. Also do an "ipconfig /all" on the Windows server to make sure it has the correct IP address. Personally I always specify IP addresses rather than names for hosts in my Nagios config so my monitoring won't break if DNS goes to pot, but I digress... hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
