No Servers Alive sends a request to the remote system with a timeout value of 300 seconds.
You can get 2 cases: * within those 300 seconds you do not get the result from the remote system * the OS decides before this timeout that it's no use to wait longer Dirk Bulinckx.

I also have Second Knock enabled. Even with these settings, Servers Alive sees the process as down quite often. Does the 1460 error mean that it did not see the process as up during the length of the timeout?

From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Ray VanVelsen Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 3:34 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Using SA NT process check Hi We are using Server Alive's NT process check against a third party NT process that runs on an XP SP3 box. SA often reports that the process is not running. However, when we check the process, it is up. What suggestions do people have regarding checking a process? Our SA box is remote from the box running the process. What timeouts come into play when SA checks a process? We are running SA 6.1.2204 on XP SP3. Thanks for your help.
