Quick and dirty: Set up monitoring of memory in RM, if you haven't already done so. Set your thresholds for available memory. Then configure RM to run the script below on your servers when they go to Red status: On Error Resume Next Const DeleteReadOnly = True Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set oWshSysEnv = oShell.Environment("Process") vbQuote = """" 'Get Script Path sScriptFullName = WScript.ScriptFullName sScriptPath = Left(sScriptFullName, InStrRev(sScriptFullName, "\")) sSysroot = oWshSysEnv("SYSTEMROOT") strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Service") For Each objService in colListOfServices If objService.Name = "spooler" Then If objService.Started = TRUE Then objService.StopService() End If End If Next Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Service") For Each objService in colListOfServices If objService.Name = "spooler" Then If objService.Started = FALSE Then objService.StartService() End If End If Next This assumes that your spool service is the only process with a memory leak. You'll need to either place this file on each server in your farm or run it from a central location substituting the server name for "." in setting strComputer = "." Don't know how familiar you are with scripting, but this should give you a starting point to build on, I hope. I would then put in a call to MS to find out why this is happening. -----Original Message----- From: Stratton, Doug MSER:EX [mailto:Doug.M.Stratton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 11:19 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] tool to restart a service if it's memory usage gets over a certai n amount Anyone know of such a thing? 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.
