<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I need to know if that process stops for any reason.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using command line from Nagios and with Wordpad.exe as a
test I have tried using this<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>./check_nrpe -H server01 -p 5666 -c CheckProcState
-a wordpad.exe=running<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I get All processes running regardless if Wordpad is open or
not.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have read the manual and tried the various combinations
mentioned in there and it does not help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
