I have a service defined (below) to use the NSClient tool to check if a service is running on a Windows 2000 system. The service on the Win2k box is an instance of SQL server for a particular application and the service has a "$" in its name, that is just how SQL 2000 distinguishes between NT services for different instances. Nagios is complaining about the "$". I have tried enclosing the service name in double quotes and I have tried escaping the dollar sign with a backtick and also with another dollar sign but have had no luck. Also, I tried creating its own entry in the checkcommands.cfg file so I wouldn't have to pass the NT service name as an argument but that didn't help either.
Any suggestions? define service{ use generic-service host_name server_name service_description SVC-SQL-AGENT is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 15 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups nt-admins notification_options w,u,c,r notification_interval 960 check_command check_nt_service!SQLAgent$SPSQL } ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
