[SA-list] Unable to do NT Process / Serverces Check

Title: Message Could someone tell me if SA user specific ports to check the NT services and processes. I can do these checks on some systems that are on a different network and not on others that are on a different segment. This all goes through a firewall and controlled by our network group

[SA-list] Suggestion for future release

I would love to see the checking schedule granularity increased to half hour. Cheers ~~~ Peter Enzerink

[SA-list] Servers Alive alive?

There are lots of ways to skin a cat. Can anyone suggest the best mechanism to generate a page say twice a day to confirm that SA is alive and running? My first thought was to exclude most of the day and have a nonsense check that sends a text message when the check fails. Anyone else have a mo

RE: [SA-list] countfiles problems

I’d have to go with Dirk on this one.  You’ll see it as a rights problem because the account SA is using for the check has either had its password change, or else no longer has permissions on this particular directory.  Happens all the time at our shop when overzealous admins try to lock do

RE: [SA-list] countfiles problems

Thanks Dirk.  Running as a service.  We haven't changed anything as far as I know so I don't suspect a rights problem.  I'm using an account that we've always used. I've tried running SA as a straight application also with the same response. Basically, I seem to be able to get a correct response

[SA-list] countfiles problems

Help!!! I've been using countfiles as an external check with no problem for several months now but it suddenly stopped working inside of SA.  When I run the external CheckErrorLevel.exe I get a returned value but when run within SA, it returns a 0.  Same box, the only difference is inside of SA v.

I understand what you are saying but if you want to verify that the servers are configured correctly. I guess there is no way to push out a standard config for time to make sure the times are set correctly...so if you have a server that is incorrectly configured (i.e. wrong time zone) or the ske

RE: [SA-list] Checking NT Server Times

I agree, but then again, what time would you compare the time to?? Itself ??? As long as the SNTP server is up and running, and the processes (abouttime) are up and runningI have to unfortunately make the assumptrion that the time is being updated according to my initial specs. Maybe I could

RE: [SA-list] Checking NT Server Times

Andy, If all of the servers are "windows", don't check the time, just use a 'time-syncr' to make sure they are all in tune with a time server. A free one is called "about time"...find it on www.arachnoid.com Good luck, John -Original Message- From: Carroll, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE

We do something similar with our in-house programs. (We have racks of machines that just sit and do OCR processing all day, and it'd be tough for us to know if they went down. Bear with me, this is actually relevant, hahaha.) Every minute, the in-house OCR program running on each machine update
