I want to set up an alert to notify myself and the other
IT administrator in the office when a windows service
stops (such as exchange services, a mailsweeper program
we user, etc). Is there a way to set this up.
There are many times when people in my organization
notify me that the service isn't working, and I'd like to
set up either a messenger or email alert.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

I found that "net send" seems to work more reliably
when addressing computer names rather than user
names. You'll have to experiment with the command -
just try it out from a Command Prompt! The command
"net help send" gives you the full help text.

If you want to send EMail messages then you need
to use a mailer such as one of those I listed in my
first reply. They all have inbuilt help to show you how
you should use them.
