automating the restarting of CMS 10

[hjg0989]

Hi,

We do a cold backup of our database on Sundays. Every Monday I have to manually restart the CMS. I copied the following command line from the properties box:

\\server\P$\CE10\Enterprise 10\win32_x86\CrystalMS.exe -service -name psat02.cms -restart -noauditor

This command works from the Crystal Configuration Manager.

I created the following cmd file:

P:
cd CE10\Enterprise 10\win32_x86
CrystalMS.exe -service -name psat02.cms -restart -noauditor

When I execute the .cmd file it does not stop and restart CMS. Does anyone know what the trick to this is ?

Thank you for any help,

You might also consider a 3rd party services moinitoring program, there are many of them, and probably even a freebie somewhere:

OK, I was making this too difficult.

In my .cmd file I just do a net stop crystalms
and a net start crystalms

The switches are included in the service properties for Crystal Management Server.
