Help - I am unable to get the NSClient++ to restart services

[Anthony Montibello]

Sorry for joining the conversation late,

but if you still are having issues with getting the script/restart happening
on the windows side, there are several options that you will call through
the EventHandler Command Script.

NRPE is the Plugin many users install to run Scripts (Like BAT files) on the
Windows host this can usually be installed alongside most Windows plugins..
NC_Net has a similar command  Runscript that also preforms this but replaces
your Windows plugin.
nsclient++ also has a NPRE extention in it as well.
OpServices as pointed out above may have added a restart command but I have
not seen much in the nagios list recently on OPservervices,  Opservices
would also replace your current Windows plugin.

Each of the Windows plugins has different advantages and limitations,
but most have been reported as stable.
