How to start/stop a windows service using nagios

[Anthony Montibello]

Yes this can be done in NC_Net
but depending on your goals the service could also be configured to restart
if it stop

For NC_Net
First make sure you are using a current version of Nc_Net
Sourceforge is the only location that NC_Net should be downloaded from.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Use the RUNSCRIPT command check help for syntex
./check_nc_net --help=RUNSCRIPT

create a batch that runs the net start command.
copy it into the script folder of NC_Net install folder.
Make sure your startup.cfg is configured approprialty for running scripts.
(documentation is clear for these settings in the Startup.cfg file in the
config folder of NC_NEt install location)
if you modified the starup make sure to restart NC_NEt

Then configure a event script for nagios  that calls check_nt
-v RUNSCRIPT -l "Scriptname"
