Monitoring Processes

[Pete Dewell]

Hi,

It is indeed possible - at least on NT 4, I haven't tried it on W2K yet.
The syntax I use for check_nt is :-

check_command     check_nt!program_name1,program_name2, etc etc

Where progran_name is the name of the program as it appears in the task 
manager.

This will return an alert if *any* of the programs stop running. If you 
want to monitor lots and know whether any have stopped, this is fine, 
otherwise create a service for each program you want to monitor.
