Using NSClient with NRPE

[Ron Wilson]

I have NSclient on my servers and use NRPE to access client. On the
whole it works fine but I have great difficulty detecting if a windows
process is running or stopped. I have a java.exe that has to run in a
cmd window.

I need to know if that process stops for any reason.

Using command line from Nagios and with Wordpad.exe as a test I have
tried using this

./check_nrpe -H  server01 -p 5666 -c  CheckProcState -a
wordpad.exe=running

 

I get All processes running regardless if Wordpad is open or not.

I have read the manual and tried the various combinations mentioned in
there and it does not help.

Can anyone please supply a command line for NRPE that will tell me when
a windows process is running and when it is stopped I want it to return
critical

 

Thanks
