I already posted this in the forum as well. I can successful get Nagios to monitor any service I need, but I can’t get it to restart. Here is my situation up to date: (from the forums) I did make sure event handler was enabled, but the documentation refers to scripting the start up of linux services, not Windows. I figured I can create a .bat file to do a simple net start, but how does Nagios run it? Is it something like this?

Do I give it a path to the .bat file?) > > Is nagios able to run this file from the host PC. In these linux script examples I am unsure if the script is on the Nagios server of the host server. Any help would be awesome. Hopefully I'm close to accurate here. I got a reply: You can use NRPE/NSClient++ and instead of using it to run remote scripts to check something, use it to restart your services. See > > <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html</a> > <a href="http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/" target="_blank">http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/</a> However still cant get NSClient to start the service. The links provided detail how to set up monitor host services. This works great. However I cannot get the NSCLient++ to actually restart the service. I edited the NSC.INI file to comment out the "check_all_services" section and have the values set to "started" however it still shows the service as stopped and it will not restart it. I am assuming there is a step I am missing in this in some config file somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am under a deadline to have this up by this weekend. Management thought this would be easier than it is and gave me two days. Any help on what I am missing would be greatly appreciated.
