Re: Revisiting NT service monitoring

Almost there.

We just had the service die on us again with no warning.

Here is the response from your line in our production environment:

./check_nt -H our_nt_server -v SERVICESTATE -l spooler
All services are running


Well, some services are not running, and I want to specifically target 
the status of the spooler service.   Continued searches through 
groups.google and www.google turn up nothing.  The Netsaint 
documentation doesn't help, either, unless I'm looking in the wrong 
place (not the first time!).

Any additional help (from anyone) would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
