How often do you run the batch file?

nah, that's my "somethin's broke" batch file.
the one i schedule on problem systems is this one:
@echo Off
:begin
set log=z-keepalive.log
set msg=mail_services_restart
set watson=
for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%a in ('z-plist drwtsn32') do @set watson=%%b
if NOT "%watson%"=="drwtsn32" goto log_error
goto start_all_mail_related_services
:log_error
for /f "tokens=2" %%d In ('date /t') do for /f %%t in ('time /t')
do (echo %%d %%t %msg%>>%log%)
:kill_dr_watson_process
echo killing dr watson error...
z-pkill -f %watson%
:stop_all_mail_related_services
echo stopping all mail services...
net stop scsmfilterpluse
net stop imsdolist
net stop smtprcv
net stop smtpds
net stop pop3s
:system cleanup
echo clearing out undelivered mail mri files...
del e:\spooler\domains\*.mri /s /q
echo clearing out lockfiles...
del f:\netmail\$LockFile /s /q

net start pop3s
net start smtpds
net start smtprcv
net start imsdolist
net start scsmfilterpluse
:e-mail_administrator
echo sending a nasty note to god...
z-sleep 30
c:\blat\blat.exe c:\z-keepalive.msg -to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-subject "restarted mail services on gone-postal"
goto loop_batch_file_if_not_scheduled
:start_all_mail_related_services
echo starting all mail services...
net start pop3s
net start smtpds
net start smtprcv
net start imsdolist
net start scsmfilterpluse
:loop_batch_file_if_not_scheduled
echo sleeping 60 seconds...
z-sleep 60
goto begin
:end
this one looks for a drwatson error and then executes everything else
when it finds one.
smtprcv doesn't like to be shut down sometimes, so my bounce file
will force kill it, and keep checking for it to not be there before
it continues.
this one acts the same way, but it loops every 60 seconds and does
nothing if dr watson hasn't thrown up a window.
the readme.nfo says
keepalive and monitoring script for the emwac ims mailserver

notes:
please edit the z-keepalive.bat file, and set the parameters to what
works for your system.
line 4 (message logged to the logfile)
line 22 (domain directory path for deleting .mri files)
line 24 (mail directory path for deleting lock files)
line 26 (antivirus path for deleting antivirus temp files)
line 35 is a sleep statement to allow the mailserver to come
back up so that blat can sent the error message to the admin.
this can be shortened, and is in seconds. i.e. sleep 5 will
cause the batch file to pause for 5 seconds.
line 36 should be edited so it sends your error messages to you, not me :)
the z-keepalive.msg file is the body of the message that will be sent.
add a rem in front of, or remove, lines 45, 46, 47, if you are going
to schedule this file. otherwise it will just loop continuously.
note: i renamed some of the utilities, etc. to keep them all in the
same place in a file listing. this whole thing sits in c:\ as written
acknowledgements:
this script uses the following executables:
z-plist.exe - process lister
this is a renamed pslist.exe

z-pkill.exe - process killer
this is a renamed kill.exe
kill v3.5 for NT

z-sleep.exe - pause utility
i found this file on the internet,
and i can find no information on it.
blat.exe - e mail sending utility
(v1.9.4) Blat - Windows NT/95 util to send
SMTP mail from the command line (Intel
version) Useful for sending mail from
automated jobs, HTML CGI scripts, etc.
Includes source code. Public Domain.
anyway, works for me. i made both files so they would cleanup the
system a bit while it was down.
