Hi,
great, but I did nothing, you found the solution. What a pity, I do not deserve the reward ;-)
Ciao,

I copied a load the stuff over from the old server but of course, I had not copied over the printer-service settings, as a quick check I changed it back to generic-service and it's started to work straight away, as soon as you said that I realised what I have done. I've tested and had the services go onto the second attempt which is when they put it off for a week, and it's worked.

>> I have problems with checking services I have at the moment 107 devices on it printers and switches, (the old bashed up PC had around 300 devices on it and worked fine before the hardware died). Anyway I am trying to monitor services and for all the switches it seems fine, but for all of the printers it's not working. Automatically so I am wondering if i've done something wrong but I cannot work out what is wrong it all appears to be fine, please see below. But when I try monitoring services it will start and for the odd printer work fine but the next printer in the list it will not work for and what happens is it check the service once and it's fine but then when it comes to do the second check on either the check_ping or check_printer service it either disables checking the service or moves the date forward a week for the next check.

>> I'm stuck as to why these services are either not being checked or put forward to only check them in a weeks time.

>> All my switches that work are in a group called generic-switch
>>
>> I've tried putting half a dozen of the printers into generic-switch instead of novell-printer and they have exactly the same results so I don't think it's got anything to do with that. Any help would be appreciated.
