Batch process to check Cognos Services 1

[Moortt]

I would like to know if its possible to have a scheduled job that checks the cognos services every morning to see if all the services are running. Would it be possible to restart a service via the batch program if it has been disabled ? Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

I don't know about checking, but I have a script that stops and starts the PPES service so that I can work on the audit file. 'tis trivial to amend it so that it stops and starts all the relevant services.

Rem Stop Service
Net Stop "Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cer5)"

"C:\Program Files\Cognos\cer5\bin\PPESAuditFileProcessor" -dbname PPES -dbconnect ";LOCAL;OD;DSN=PPES" -dbuser dr.lex -dbpass clarkkent -auditlocation "C:\Program Files\Cognos\cer5\ppserver"

Rem Start Service
Net Start "Cognos PowerPlay Enterprise Server (cer5)"

soi la, soi carré

The Net Stop command seems to work. I had to make sure that the Cognos IWR Service Manager was running every morning so i just added the commands to stop and restart the services to the scheduled job. Thank you so much for your help.
