if you have the coding skills, you could would write a script/executable that has a WMI hook into the OS... and then... as if by magic, when the memory rises above X, it will fire an event which triggers your program to restart the service. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig Kenzig.com Sent: 02 February 2005 17:39 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: tool to restart a service if it's memory usage gets over a certai n amount You want services Sentinel from WMSoftware.

Might even be able to do it with a script.??? This is on windows 2000 that I need it. Reason is for some reason our print spooler service is bloating up (don't know why) and using 100,000K of memory. I can't figure out what is going on so I want to put something in place that restarts the service if this happens.
