Automatic notification of service failures? 1

[karenr33]

We're running SLMail on an NT server for outside clients.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although SLMail is supposed to be really stable, we've noticed that the POP3 service seems to stop periodically.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course, no one notices until a client calls and complains.&nbsp;&nbsp;What we'd like to do is have the server page the tech on call anytime the POP3 service stops on this server.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this possible?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, any ideas on the easiest (i.e., cheapest) way to implement?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Karen S.

There is a great little program called Servers Alive. You can find it at <A HREF="

It can monitor a number of things including services, hdd space, etc. and can notify you via e-mail, pager, sound file, etc.<br><br>Eric Lorenzen<br>MIS Manager<br>Vierbicher Associates, Inc.<br>Reedsburg, WI<br><A HREF="mailto:elor@vierbicher.com">elor@vierbicher.com</A>
