NRPE_NT Error: NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...

[Stover, Beth]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use NRPE to monitor remote Windows XP machines for the
first time.

Nagios version 2.8.  I have installed check_nrpe on the Nagios server.

Windows XP SP2 is the remote host.   I installed NRPE_NT Version:
0.7f/2.0 on the XP machine.

I edited the nrpe.cfg with the basic info including the following
command definition:

command[check_cmd]=c:\nrpe\test.cmd

Test.cmd is on the XP machine in the following location:
c:\nrpe\test.cmd.  Here are the contents:

@echo off
echo hallo from cmd
exit 1

I do a basic test from the Nagios server like this and it works:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10                
NRPE_NT v0.7f/2.0

Next, I try executing the remote cmd file, and this is where I get the
error:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 -c check_cmd
NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...

There's nothing in the Windows event log.  Nothing interesting in the
nagios.log.

Am I missing something totally simple?

Thanks so much...
