checking services with check_nt

[Javier Garcia]

Hi,
if you read the readme.htm included in the ns_client.tgz file, you can
found this information:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Services States

Syntax: check_nt -H <hostname> -p <port> -v SERVICESTATE [-d SHOWALL] -l
<service 1>[,<service 2>,<service 3>,...]

    * <service> should be the real name of the service, not the displayed
name. You can find this information when going to the registry for the
corresponding service :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

or use the free utility: 'Service Manager NT' :
http://www-rnks.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~fsch/english/nttols.htm

    * -d SHOWALL can be specified if you want to see all tested services
including started ones.

You can specify serveral services in one request. No blank should appear
in the list !

If not all services are running, you get the faulty one(s) and a critical
state.

Example:
./check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l
LanmanServer,Schedule

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, as you can see, first you have to check if the service is in ithe
list, and the must be without blank spaces...

chers,

j.
