If this is a Win2k or higher you can do this by right clicking the service, select properties and change the Display name. Not sure if this will work, but the command line 'net stop' and 'net start' will use the display name and that should only affect what is seen in services.msc, not what your program sees.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=273325814-06042005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=273325814-06042005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Tony</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> nagiosplug-help-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagiosplug-help-admin@lists.sourceforge.net]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Luis Noronha<BR><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, April 06, 2005 10:33 AM<BR><B>To:</B> nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net<BR><B>Cc:</B> OniTelecom - Security NET4B<BR><B>Subject:</B> [Nagiosplug-help] NSCLIENT - Monitoring a service with space character in its real name<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005>Hi,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005>We're having trouble using "check_nt" (NSCLIENT plug-in) to monitor services that have a space character in its name (e.g. "Service ABC").</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005>I read the following post </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=414491614-06042005><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT><A href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8135478">http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8135478</A></DIV> <DIV> <P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN: 0in; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-outline-level: 1"><SPAN class=414491614-06042005><FONT face=Arial>, and looking at the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services) one of the services really didn't have a space in its real name, and it solved the problem for this particular service </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=414491614-06042005><FONT face=Arial>:)</FONT></SPAN></P> <P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN: 0in; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-outline-level: 1"><SPAN class=414491614-06042005><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </P> <P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN: 0in; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-outline-level: 1"><SPAN class=414491614-06042005><FONT face=Arial>Still, there is another service that has a space in its real name, therefore it still doesn't work: check_nt_service can't monitor it.
