System.ServiceP rocess - Is the service "hung"?

[SQLScott]

I am using the System.ServiceP rocess methods to look at the status of several
services. It will tell me if it is Stopped, Started, etc. But how do I tell
if a service is Not Responding, or Hung?

TIA...

Scott,

But how do I tell
if a service is Not Responding, or Hung? You cannot per se.

What I do is have Performance Counters that I monitor, if the counters are
moving when they are not suppose to or not moving when they are suppose to,
then the service is more then likely hung...

I also have EventLog messages that indicate progress...

Both PerformanceCoun ter & EventLog are located in the System.Diagnost ics
namespace.

The added advantage of adding PerformanceCoun ters is you can monitor how
well or poorly your app is running...

Hope this helps
Jay
