Hi folks,
Got this working so I thought I'd post reply. It was straight forward enough
in the end.
I downloaded AutoExNT.zip (did a search on the web to find it) and installed
it as per the instructions I found at www.winfiles.com. The help was located
under 'how do i run a program as a service so it starts each time NT reboots?'
on the above website.
I then installed AutoExNT as a service (as per instructions above) and added a
call to ServiceCheck.class in the .bat file associated with my new service. This
worked like a treat. It nows means I don't need anybody logged onto my
production machine for me to check the services.
I do have a few 'Dear whoever wrote this class' questions though.
1. Could the valid datetime be written to the log file. It looks to me that a static
datatime is used. My log file always shows the time I called the class for the
first time
2. Could an optional call be made to the ServiceControl tool to start any service
it determines are down. This would be handy if something happend outside of our
normal support hours, or could the code be made available?
If anybody needs help drop me an email.
Regards,
Damian O'Connor
