Well, the service is just an ASP server. To check for its availability
we use check_http with the -e switch...

Yep, that was already know. My problem is that I don't know how to
combine the event_handlers to launch a .bat file through the nrpe_nt to
restart the service on the Windoze side...

>So the idea is to check regulary if a certain service is up or down, with lets say max 3 retries. In case the service is down, you start an event-handler that request via check_nrpr to execute a command on the windows. This could be a .bat file with f.e. net start SPOOLER

Yes, that's my initial thought...

Thanks in advance!
