I've created a VB app to ping our servers and important workstations and email when one of them (or any number of them) fails ping.
You could probably do likewise with a script, just find an email utility and use the built-in ping or the .NET Net>Ping utility to email on error. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ James Walker Systems Analyst Mercy Medical Center Knoxville, TN Office (865)647-2906 Mobile (865)323-7378 Fax (865)545-3007 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [email protected] 10/11/2010 11:23 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject [talkbws] Ideas for Boston Schedule Monitoring I've run scheduled scripts for years for print jobs into ChartMaxx EMR. But just recently added a Meditech Day Close routine to pick up other vendor charge batch. (Meditech evidently cannot imagine how to pick up an OV file.) Now Boston Scripting is even more important. I have a test station and a live station that run schedules. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on using the test station to monitor that the live was up and working okay. My current method is every night at 7pm, I get an email to my phone which indicates it is "alive" and working. I've had network hangs, lost connections, etc... periodically that could hang the day close job. Just wondering if anyone had a script used by a second machine to be proactive and check on the first machine? Thanks.
