Restarting services remote - and checking them

[Larshg]

Hi

I usaly do most unix script, but I'm now running some services on a bunch of Windows 2000 servere.

I was wundering if it is posible to restart a service remote - The issus is that I have 14 serveres where the same service is running, and right now I have to connect to the servers via RDP and restart the services, this takes a lot of time, and it would be a lot easyer if I could do it from 1 machine.

It would also be lovely to do a check of the services from one machine.

And if I could get information from the serveres - only like cpu usage and memory usage - THAT would be fantastic.

Hope someone can guide me.

/Lars

Write it yourself or use something like service explorer.

I see that you are a programmer. I have used high level
interfaces in windows, where in UNIX I would use C.
I used tcl and TWAPI:

and they were a good fit. I also utilized the itcl (OO) interface for better logical control and reusability.

HTH.
