SSH and Windows

[Goodburn, Laura]

Marc,

Thanks. Yes, if I type:
ssh testserver "cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver
-w 80 -c 90"

I get the following:
OK - Total CPU Utilization 5% | 'CPU_Utilization'=5%;80%;90%;;

I will try to see if I can figure out more from the link you sent.

As long as your plugin complies with the Screen Output and Plugin Return
Codes (at the minimum) of
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN73,
check-by-ssh should pass the appropriate information back.

Can you run your command directly from ssh? i.e. ssh user at hostname
"cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w 80 -c 90"
