Enable Telnet Server and create a entry to telnet to the SA Telnet
server port this will tell you that SA is up and running and available.
If the SA service is hung the Telnet server is unavailable as well an
alert you.

Another option previously discussed is just to create a check on your
main
SA machine (maybe ping 127.0.0.1) and set the alert to always. Then
when
you stop getting mails either your tcp/ip stack broke or your SA is no
longer checking.
You would get a lot of unnecessary emails but this is the only I can be
sure
that it is running. Create a rule to have them put in a folder and
clean
out the folder every day.

What I do is have the primary SA output an HTML page containing just
enough
code to be included in an ASP page with the lastcyclestart time (and
other
variables) after each cycle. Then I have an ASP page that calculates the
datediff between the SA output and Now(). If good, then the ASP page
writes
"OK" to the browser in HTML, and "ERROR" if the datediff is too old.
Then
the secondary SA does a HTML check looking for the contents of my asp
page.
If it contains "ERROR" then I know that the primary SA hasn't updated
recently. Because SA writes the HTML output as a last step, this is a
reasonably good check that all is well. This is also extremely good for
checking for horrendously long cycles, that while technically ARE
running,
they are just taking too long.
If you're interested, I can zip up the files and send them to you
offlist.

I am looking for a way to have one SA box check another SA box to ensure
that SA is running. I looked at SAIsAlive but I really want something to
send an Alarm to show that SA is down. I thought about checking the
service but thought that if it was hung it may show as running. I was
wondering if there was a way to have SA look at the log file and note
that the date/time has changed or really any creative idea anyone has
would be appreciated.
