So, I put these binaries on my Windows server

https://support.op5.se/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=33

and put them in my NC_net script folder ("C:\Program
Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script").

On the Windows server, I can run these scripts ok from the cmd line

e.g.

C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script>check_ping.exe -H 10.200.200.1 -w 100,2
0% -c 500,60%
Ping OK - Packet Loss = 0%, RTA = 0ms|'Packet Loss'=0%;100;500;; 'RTA'=0ms;20%;6
0%;;

In my C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\command\commands.cfg, I have
the following entry so that I can execute this command remotely.

******** commands.cfg *********************
command[check_nt_ping_test]="C:\Program
Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script\check_ping.exe -H 10.200.200.1 -w
100,20% -c 500,60%"
***********************************************

However, on my Nagios server, I'm having problems invoking the check
necessary to tell the Windows server to run this command.

In /etc/nagios/commands.cfg, I have the right nrpe check properly
defined (like I always do).

define command{
	command_name	check_nrpe
	command_line	$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
	}

...but I cannot call that check.

Even when I run something the following from the command line, I have problems:

[root at vmappliance plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H (ip address) -c check_nt_ping_test

I also tried the check_nt plugin, that that doesn't seem to recognize
the parameters.

Any suggestions?
