I erred in one respect.  I made the even poorer assumption that this was a MS service.  If it's not, you most likely cannot monitor is with PerfMon.  Otherwise, for example, W3SVC is surrounded by boatloads of counters.

I did not think that I could use perfmon to monitor services. How would you use it to monitor service uptime?

Thanks

John,
 
Though a completely MS solution and not 100% foolproof (though it's worked very well for my needs) setting up a simple perfmon with high and low watermarks with the proper alerting could work here.

I have been having problems with our Lotus Notes administrators making claims of services not running and using extremely high cpu. Of course I am never able to see the problem happening because they will kill the service. Sorry had to vent. I am looking for a utility that I can monitor the uptime of a service and monitor cpu usage of a service. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
