Just a little mod and it fits our purpose

We made a change to checkservice in to the perl script so we can exclude services.

#————————————————————————-
sub checkservice {
# ———————— checking all services
my $where_bit=”;
my $auto_mode=”;
my $invert_mode=”;

if (lc($the_arguments{‘_arg1’}) eq ‘auto’) {
# for this query we need to look for all automatic services
# check that all auto services are
# STARTED=True, STATE=Running and STATUS=OK
# we do a query that actually always should return data so that we know that the query works
# we could do a select just listing the bad ones, but it returns nothing if good. hard to tell if it really worked ok.
$where_bit=”where StartMode=”auto””;
$auto_mode=1;
} elsif (lc($the_arguments{‘_arg1’}) eq ‘invert’) {
$where_bit=”where StartMode=”auto””;

$invert_mode=1;
}

} else {
# for this query we have been passed a regex and must look for that
# so the WMI query should return all services and then we will apply the regex
# this is the default
}

# wmic returns something like:
# CLASS: Win32_Service
# DisplayName|Name|Started|StartMode|State|Status
# Telnet|TlntSvr|False|Auto|Stopped|OK
# Security Center|wscsvc|True|Auto|Running|OK

So you’ll have to give -a invert -o $ARG2 parameter where $ARG2 can be “service1|service2|service3” etc. The listed services will be excluded from the check.
