I have installed check_nrpe on the Nagios server.<o:p></o:p> Windows XP SP2 is the remote host. I installed NRPE_NT Version: 0.7f/2.0 on the XP machine.<o:p></o:p> I edited the nrpe.cfg with the basic info including the following command definition:<o:p></o:p> command[check_cmd]=c:\nrpe\test.cmd<o:p></o:p> Test.cmd is on the XP machine in the following location: c:\nrpe\test.cmd. Here are the contents:<o:p></o:p> @echo off<o:p></o:p> echo hallo from cmd<o:p></o:p> exit 1<o:p></o:p> I do a basic test from the Nagios server like this and it works:<o:p></o:p> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 <o:p></o:p> NRPE_NT v0.7f/2.0<o:p></o:p> Next, I try executing the remote cmd file, and this is where I get the error:<o:p></o:p> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 -c check_cmd<o:p></o:p> NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...<o:p></o:p> There��s nothing in the Windows event log.
