I need to monitor the health of James - basically if its running. Are there any builtins that will let me basically 'ping' James to see if its up and working. I'm running on NT so I can't use a shell script to get the job's pid. Until I convert James to start as a NT service, I can't use any service API's that will allow monitoring. I can't also simply monitor the running tasks because the image name is simply java.exe (besides I'd have to switch over to C++ to write the NT Task monitor)
Two possible options are a) configure a thread - part of a custom mailet that starts up along with James and essentially responds to a ping request b) send an email to a predefined address that is captured using a mailet that will then write a 'I'm alive' signature somewhere I would think that 'A' is a little cheaper in terms of execution but am open to other approaches. -shal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
