Script to monitor windows service?

[FreshPrince]

does anyone know of any free or commercial solution that'll monitor windows server service and restart it if it stops?

Thanks,

just create a batch file to do it and schedule it to run at whatever interval you want to check.

for example - this would check for a service called Symantec AntiVirus Client to be running (findstr is case sensitive) and would restart it if if is not running.


net start | findstr /C:"Symantec AntiVirus Client"
if %errorlevel% == 1 goto restart

:end
exit

:restart
net start "Symantec AntiVirus Client"

Why not just set this particular service to restart if it's stopped? Go to properties on the service you want to monitor and choose the recovery tab. Set it to restart the service on failure.
