I ran into a similar problem, We have some servers that we don't monitor
24x7 however I too wanted to know prior to Monday morning at 8:30 if a non
24X7 server was down. So what I did was to create an AT job that restarts
the whatsup gold service everyday at 6:00 AM. M-F and at 9:00 AM on the
weekends (Did not like those early morning pages on the weekend). This
solved our problem.
In your case you could have it restart at 6:16AM
Below is the AT job and the Batch file.
NOTE: The batch file needs SC.exe from the resource kit.
And it creates a log file in C:\TEMP adjust to your site.
1 Each M T W Th F 6:00 AM cmd /c "C:\Program
Files\WhatsUp\restart_wugsvc.bat"
2 Each S Su 9:00 AM cmd /c "C:\Program
Files\WhatsUp\restart_wugsvc.bat"
-------------------------

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Alert Notifications
I am monitoring a server that gets re-booted every Sunday at 6:00 AM so I
have the Alerts set up to send them out 24hrs on Mon-Sat and not between
5:45 AM and 6:15 AM on Sunday. This works great.
The problem that I have is that the server went down at 6:01 AM but did not
come back up again for some reason and no one was aware of the problem until
Monday morning when they came into the office.
Is there some way that I can get WUG to send an alert at 6:16AM indicating
that the server is still down?
I don' t know of a way to tell WUG to monitor a device 24x6 and 23.5 hours
on Sunday, only via the alerts.
Thanks for any assistance.
