How to monitor specific windows services using nsclient++

[Michael Medin]

Hello,

Just a quick clarification it is not just you who prefer check_nrpe it 
it is infact the "prefered" way to interact with NSClient++. check_nt is 
mainly for legacy support only.
Most of the "newer" features will not be available via check_nt.
