Hello,
We have a Business Connector service running on a Win2000 server. We are having somo trouble with the service (sometimes it dies, sometimes it hangs, etc...) so we want to build a smtp agent that checks the service, alerts the sysadmin when it's down, tries to restart it, or whatever we are demanded...
When it hangs, the process is still there but theres no service, so it's not enough with looking for alive processes.
We thought that a solution could be to query the service opening a socket and sending the apropiate string. Something similar to opening a telnet session through the port 80 of a web server and sending a GET / , but logically using the protocol that the BUSINESS CONNECTOR understands.
Does anybody know how to do it? Can I check this service remotely using telnet and sending strings?
Any other ideas on how to check this service's reliability?
Thanks in advance,
