That looks good. I'll test it tomorrow. 

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] NCSA Service check question

its been a while since I looked at that issue, But 

 

I thought $$ works?  (my test sever is down so I cannot test)

 

Sometimes having the command definition like such helps:

command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l '$ARG1$' -d SHOWALL

 

then you do not need to worry about loosing the ' between the  command and the definition,

 

but my test server is down so I cannot test these options.

Hi all, quick question here that I hope is appropriate for this list. 

 

I'm querying a Windows box w/ NSClient for services using check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -l (list of services). 

One of the services I'm checking has a dollar sign ($) in its name. This causes the check to barf. 

 

A standard check runs fine when surrouded by ' : 

 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H host.blah.blah -v SERVICESTATE -l 'MSSQL$VITALSQLEXPRESS'
All services are running

 

But using the same in my services.cfg with either  '  ` or " doesn't have the desired effect. 

 

Here's my checkcommand.cfg entry if it's helpful.


define command{
        command_name    check_nt_service
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$ -d SHOWALL


Any ideas? Renaming the service really isn't an option and though I can monitor the process, I'd really rather not. 

 

Regards and thanks in advance,
