cmd/bat file help plz...running it via check_nrpe

[Lori Adams]

I think the problem is that you're trying to use nrpe to run the
reboot-server script.  

If you can run your cmd/bat file on your remote machine by hand, then
you know that is written correctly.  

Once that works then you can set up an event handler on your service
check definition.   Using nrpe to shutdown your machine, you'll not get
a response back, as the machine will have been rebooted.  

Is there a way for you to use ssh, or some other method to reboot.

>>Geeza,

>>         command line	$USER1$/reboot_win_server.sh $HOSTNAME$
>>$HOSTADDRESS$
>>}
>>
>>4) In your plugin directory make a small script(reboot_win_server.sh):

>>#bin/sh
>>HOST_NAME=$1
>>IP_ADDRESS=$2
>>/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOST_ADDRESS -t 5 -c
>>reboot_server
>>
>>5) Of course there are alternatives, it is possible to define directly

>>
>># reboot_win_server
>>define command{
>>         command_name	reboot_win_server
>>         command line	$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 5 -c
>>reboot_server
>>}
>>
>>6) To test, at least install the win site, try a manual execution of
the
>>check_nrpe ... reboot
>>
