Hi, I know how to echo a message on the console ..... my problem is of redirecting the string to Send_Nsca.exe , which needs to be sent to the Nagios Server for the passive service check. Any mechanism for doing it will be helpfull. When I tried redirection through a file to the SendNsca.exe, it gave me the message "0 packets Sent to the Nagios Server". @ Anthony thanks for the Pointer to NC_Net. Its a good tool and seems to be doing more than I need for at the moment.

Using C# NC_Net can feed an IO into Win32_Send_NSCA.exe I also wrote my own version of SendNSCA in C# (internally in NC_NEt) doing that is a bit too complicated to discuss, but to oversimpify things: To reimplement SendNSCA just convert the Send_nsca.c into C# FOr commiunicating with Win32SEnd_Nsca read up on running processes Asyncronous and Syncronously. (spelling may be off) Have you tried using NC_NEt it provides both Active and Passive checks in a single windows plugin client It also has the ability to run other Scripts loaded into its script folder. IT is availible on sourceforge: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net">http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net</a> TOny (Author of NC_Net) On Jan 23, 2008 8:13 AM, <<a href=mailto:ankit.mehrotra@tcs.com>ankit.mehrotra@tcs.com</a>> wrote: Hi, I am trying to monitor windows machines passively. For the same, I am writing some code in C#. The problem is, C# does not support anything like echo command(The way we used to do it on Linux). I have tried to redirect the output from a file to the send_nsca exe, but to no avail. Can you suggest some formats in which the information can be passed to the send_nsca exe ?
