Nagos issuse: ExternalCommands: failed to create process when exectuted from command line

[Elvir Kuric]

I used this

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html

as starting point. Installed nscclient on windows, and then within
nsc.ini edited part related nrpe part, defined allowed hosts, port,
and placed command to be exectuted
command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20

and nothing else. On linux machine I did configuration of nagios.

Should I install something more on windows machine, where/how I can
define check_load on remote ( windows ) machine.


Thank you for reply and nice regards,

Elvir
