I have two services one called vmagic.exe and the other csmagic.exe that
when
stopped I want an email sent to me to notify me that it has been stopped.
Is
it possible to do this? These services reside on both Windows 2000 and
Windows 2003 servers. I have no scripting background and am not familiar
with
the syntax or terminology. I have downloaded a couple of scripts in the
past
that have been preconfigured for certain task and substituted my specific
environment info where required in the script but thats as good as it gets
for me. If anyone knows if there are any scripts out there that can do
this
or if anyone can give me a copy of something they may have created with
some
very simple instructions for a NON SCRIPTOR such as myself that would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You could invoke this script when the service fails:
@echo off
set Sender=support@xxxxxxxxxxx
set Receiver=James@xxxxxxxxxxx
set Host=mail.YourISP.com
set Subject=%date% %time:~0,5%: SomeService is not running

c:\tools\blat.exe "%0" -f %Sender% -to %Receiver% -server %Host% -subject
"%Subject%"

Adjust the four "set" lines to reflect your own environment. Blat.exe
is a command line mailer that you can download from a number of
sites.
