Hey all,
I have a small app I have developed that periodically pings a list of server
and returns their status. Given my environment I have setup the program such
that a server can be down 4 minutes before I get an alert.
My problem now is that is a server is rebooted, it will be back up before
the 4 minute window and I will not be aware that it has rebooted.
I am looking for a way (as an administrator, or not, if possible) to detect
the reboot of a remote machine. I have found code to initiate a local and
remote reboot, but not a way to detect one is happening, can anyone shed
some light here for me?
Thanks!

You should be able to get the server boottime using WMI.. Try : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...management.asp
(how long a computer has been running).

Patrice,
Not a bad idea. I will try that one for now. If anyone has a way to actually
detect the shutdown even I am also still interested in that.
Thanks again Patrice for the quick response!

Just an idea, you could write a service as that has an OnStop handler, and
will be stopped when the server reboots. In the OnStop Handler you could
send a message via IP Socket to the app running to detect the shut down.
