Using NSClient with NRPE

[Jatin Davey]

Hi Ron

I just tried this yesterday , I had a requirment to monitor a java 
process on a windows box and return a critical alert if it has stopped 
working. I used the following on as the nagios configuration , this 
should be added to the object configuration file:

define service{
     use            generic-service
     host_name
     service_description    Java
     check_command        check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l java.exe
     }

This is working perfectly fine for me , Next step i am trying is to set 
up a notification email if the process stops functioning. Hope this helps.

Thanks
Jatin
