nsca/services issue

[Mike Carpenter]

Probably not...
   
  I have been reading some documentation on both syslog and nsca that talk (at the same time) about distributed systems and logging.  This is a test script that I took from one to the pieces of documentation and appears that I messed up at midnight.  
   
  With that said...how can I can I test this in this manner?
   
  Thanks

Sorry for top-posting but my point would get lost in the mix.

Pardon me if I'm wrong here, but it looks like you have a service defined 
for syslog-ng, yet the status that you're sending thru nsca is for _nmbd_. 
nmbd != syslog-ng, therefore no change to nagios display.

Did I miss something?

but the host page just sits there saying that the host hasn’t been checked. I have tried several different states and still the same result. I understand that an active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the above "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the message and the page should be updated with a critical message.
