Hi -
As an option, perhaps using the AT scheduler in Windows
to check the services periodically.. it would probably
run more efficiently and the following batch code could
check the SM services, restart if required, and write
activity to a logfile.
Batch Code Sample:
----------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
set zLog=%cd%\checkSiteMinder.log
echo ==== %date% - %time% ==== >> %zLog%
set zServices="SiteMinder Authentication Service","SiteMinder
Authorization Service"
for %%i in (%zServices%) do (
net start | find /i "%%~i" > nul
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 (
echo Running: %%i >> %zLog%
) else (
echo Not Running: %%i >> %zLog%
echo Attempting to start service.. >> %zLog%
net start %%i >> %zLog%
if errorlevel 0 (
echo Success Starting %%i >> %zLog%
) else (
echo ERROR Starting %%i >> %zLog%
)
)
)
Logged Output Sample:
----------------------------------------------------------
==== Tue 07/22/2003 - 11:26:00.35 ====
Not Running: "SiteMinder Authentication Service"
Attempting to start service..
The SiteMinder Authentication Service service is starting.
The SiteMinder Authentication Service service was started successfully.
Success Starting "SiteMinder Authentication Service"
Not Running: "SiteMinder Authorization Service"
Attempting to start service..
The SiteMinder Authorization Service service is starting.

==== Tue 07/22/2003 - 11:26:17.85 ====
Running: "SiteMinder Authentication Service"
Running: "SiteMinder Authorization Service"
==== Tue 07/22/2003 - 11:26:20.77 ====
Running: "SiteMinder Authentication Service"
Running: "SiteMinder Authorization Service"
Hope this helps..
Dave

http://www.sysinternals.com/ - search here for pstools. One of them
will list running processes.
