Under each service you can tell it what to do upon failure, usually the option is set to resart service. You also have the option to run a file upon failure, I was wondering it a batch file can send a SMS message?

Must be possible, as we used to use a program called ISM Openmaster which could SMS/page people on server faults/program faults. Worked over SNMP, costs £thousands!!! Obviously need an interface to call from the batch file which creates an SMS message and sends it

Had a quick look, the file on this site looks like what you need to do this http://www.kri-soft.be/dossms/. Looks fairly easy to use (not tried d/l'ing it yet so don't blame me if it is not available

We do this here at work but we use our own network monitoring software caled ITO which will cost you serious cash to get a license and it is reall yhard to setup, I managed to get SMS working using some of our lesser products in days gone by, ManageX, Netowrk Node Manager etc but unless you already use thes tools I would not recommend buying them just to send SMS but if you want your network and servers mapped out an monitored then I can't think of any better software.

a while back we installed a gadget that monitored faults from a generator we installed.
the card has 6 or 7 inputs, and these can be programmed to SMS you whatever you want. The gadget only cost about £250.
All you need to give the gadget is a clean / volt-free contact ( switch )
There must be some kind of PC ( development )cards available with volt free contacts on them that you can program as you like, or in your case when something fails.
might work, sounds cheaper than some of the other things mentioned.

whats-up-gold by ipswitch.....does the job nicely, the new version has alsorts of alerts.
at my last place one of the script guys did a superb job with perl_to_exe...it monitored desired services in real time not from what the applet says (you know when it goes into greyed out mode
) & sends sms, e-mail, pop up etc....polled every 5 seconds & worked very well.
I still mail him regular, if you want his details let me know but he will charge a few quid obviously.

AM Using WhatsUp Gold, used to have a sms alert then when we upgraded the server it stopped working because it was a new server and all the files got lost when we decommissioned the server, can you help me so that can use sms alerts again. Would be glad if can connect me with the guy.
