Oh snap, my bad - I just replied to Keith earlier. D'oh :P
See below:
Keith, thanks again for the help. I compared the two and aside from some
minor stuff we have similar files. In other good news, it is now working
correctly. I modified the check to look like this:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name REDOAK
service_description D:\ Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l!d!
}
And that worked. I want to say that that's similar to how it was originally
but who knows...
Thanks for the feedback!
