Question

I need to create a batch file (for SMS alerts) when a certain service stops on my server. Is there any good (pref shareware) software out there that can do this for me ? Or is there something built into NT / W2K tah tI can use ?

Thanks in advance,

Blues.

Used to use this where I worked, very good bit of software, very tweakable to get it taylored to exactly what you want it to do.

Highly recommended.

I wrote a service for doing this if you want a copy.... you specify the machine name and service name, and an interval it then polls it and if it stops, it starts it and writes an event to the event log...

What are you trying to do in sms??

Thanks for the replys guys.

I just wanted a quick and easy way to monitor a certain service that somehow manages to keep stopping after I leave work !!!

I am currently pushing out a anti virus product and due to bandwidth problems this has to be rolled out at night but due to the service stopping it keeps failing. I'm just fed up with dialling in to keep an eye on it and hopefully can get some software to run a batch file if it fails. I'm ok from the batch file side as we already use SMS alerting for our Alphas and all I need there is to copy a text file to another server.

David,

If what you wrote could help me I would gladly have a copy. Any chance it could be emailed as per profile ?

Thanks again.

Blues.
