I had installed nrpe_nt 0.7f version and it installed okay and the simple test worked with the service. I rewrote the NSClient service checks into WSH scripts. I tested the scripts using the standard C:> cscript //nologo check_disk.vbs x x x format. The scripts work when I run it on the host machine. When I then put these in the nrpe.cfg file, the service would check it once, but then subsequent calls would time out, etc. I found that the nrpe_nt service was hung and I could not stop the service. I then used task manager to kill the process. I finally backed out nrpe_nt and installed nsclient++ [kudos to the developer]. This works fine for the basic services and I have the Nagios monitoring this way. I now need to use either NSClient++ nrpe feature to run a script for check_volume (I need to monitor raw disks mounted as volumes on folders - the wmi script works fine and returns the correct results when I run it on the Win2K3 E.S with SP1). Here are the questions: 1. Has anyone experienced the nrpe_nt service hanging on Win2K3? And I see there is a version 0.8 for nrpe_nt. Will this fix the problem? 2. Will NSClient++ nrpe module work? 3. Any known WSH issues that would cause the failure? Thanks, Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
