NSClient - and args with spaces

[Rusch, Daniel]

Got it working, see the tips below. 

Sorry, I did read the FM several times, but not being a windoze aficionado I
had no idea what it meant and therefore I thought I was using the "real"
name (now I know what regedit is).  The windows sys admins frown on
installing "free" software onto production systems.....

Anyway for my fellow Unix geeks who have been blessed and never had the
misfortune of working on a windows box here are some tips:

1. Look either in My Computer/Manage/Services or Control Panel/Services and
find the service you want to monitor.  Next view it's properties.  Look at
the "Path to executable" and note the name of the executable.  Next, run
regedit to view the contents of the registry and find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services  and search for the
service you want it should be the same name as the name of the executable.
Remember that the registry name may not even remotely look like the display
name.  Use this name!

Thanks,

Dan

Read the Readme File...

Services states

Syntax: check_nt -H <hostname> -p <port> -v SERVICESTATE [-d SHOWALL]
-l <service 1>[,<service 2>,<service 3>,...]

     <service> should be the real name of the service, not the
displayed name. You can find this information when going to the
registry for the corresponding
     service : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

     or use the free utility: 'Service Manager NT' :
http://www-rnks.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~fsch/english/nttols.htm
     -d SHOWALL can be specified if you want to see all tested
services including started ones.

You can specify serveral services in one request. NO BLANK SHOULD
APPEAR IN THE LIST !

If not all services are running, you get the faulty one(s) and a
critical state.

Example:
./check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l
