From the command line: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H servername -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l "HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE" works great and returns: HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Started just like it is supposed to do. However, when run from nagios it says: HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Unknown The check_nt command definition has been modified like this: command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l $ARG1$ I removed the quotes from around $ARG1$ so that multiple services could be checked by passing with embedded quotes, like "server","service with space in the name", etc. This works great on one server running nagios but not the other. I have check and re-checked paths, permissions, check_nt versions and am stumped. Any help out there?

To set the variable $USER1$ to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ you need to edit the resource.cfg. You can also try executing the command to see if it actually works. Just go to where the check_nt is located and run it. That would eliminate a few things. HTH, Jon</div></blockquote></div>
