check_nt configurations/setup

[Petrucci, Joseph]

Change your checkcommand.cfg entry for it to look something like this
 
#'check_nt_uptime' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_uptime
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1250 -v UPTIME
      )
 
Then in your services.cfg use call check_nt_uptime without parameters

Thanks!  Now I can get the system uptime with this command "./check_nt
-H (ip address) -v UPTIME -p 1250" from running the command while in
the plugins directory.  BUT, how do I put that in the cfg files and in
which cfg files?

Please advise.  Thanks!
