ntp daemon monitor

[marbo]

Hi,
under linux/RegHat I try to monitor existence of ntpd process:
I've tried so far:

1) check_port[123]
2) check_port[ntp, IP,123]
3) check_port[IP,123]
4) check_service[ntp]

It seems to be very simple check... I have no ide why it does not work. Where is my mistake? What am I doing wrong?

regards

marbo

ntp is UDP not TCP
