FUCK YOU

I have been programming with asp and asp.net for a few years, but haven't done much with windows services.

The people here at work want me to create a service that can be deployed on the app servers that will start the services on it`s self if the services are not running on the other one. It should use an xml file or something to store the services that should be checked.

Is this possible? How would I go about starting it? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thank you.
Jason

So I figured out how to read from the xml file and start services that aren't running.

but I still need a way to see if services are running on another computer?

Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks,
Jason

You should use WMI and the Win32_Service class http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_service.asp
Here's an article on WMI from DevCity "WMI connections made easy in VB.NET" http://www.devcity.net/Articles/144/1/article.aspx
