Re: need a program to email me when service stops

Hey Gilbert,

Have you tried copying:
--------------
@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%"
--------------

Modify the above and save it as send.bat. does it work? (And make sure that you have blat.exe in the correct directory.

No, not really, it's a little overkill for what I'm trying to do. I'm just
trying to monitor 1 service on 1 server, nothing else.

I found another person posted something about Blat.exe but it's very
confusing on how to use. It's basically a batch file that you create.
Here's what they said:

"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."

I am confused on how to use it. Should I create a test.bat file with the 4
lines and then run blat.exe ??? I tried that but it didn't work. I also
tried to include all of the lines in 1 batch file but that didn't work
either.
