Monitoring Windows Services

Hi,

I am trying to create a windows application that will monitor the
windows services on a local computer or a remote computer. If any of the
services fails, then it needs to email me saying that particular service has
failed. How could I do that? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sridhar.

You could use WMI. Here is an old classic
asp sample with the appropriate wmi queries:

In .NET 2.0, you would use the System.Manageme nt
namespace if I'm not mistaken.

I have a windows service that in the OnStart it creates a thread and runs a loop forever and ever, assuming the service is running. The loop stops during the OnStop event, and everything works exactly as expected. I also have an application that monitors that service using the ServiceController component, and allows me to start & stop the service as needed, as well as poll for it's current status. Still everything thus far works and...

Hello, For security reasons, we need to start overhauling our old C++ applications to run as services instead of applications running on the admin account.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
