I am running Nagios on Linux and I am not monitoring any windows boxes! There seems to be some confusion here. check_nt40 is a program. checkcommands.cfg defines commands that execute this program with specified parameters. services.cfg refers to the commands defined in checkcommands.cfg, NOT the original program. I am not sure if 'check_nt40' is defined in your checkcommands.cfg. Services.cfg can only refer to those defined in checkcommands.cfg. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.
