nsca/services issue

[frank]

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.

but when I tried that I couldn’t get nsca to expand the variable
I have checked permissions, etc.
