How to remotely control a windows service?

philipina · 11-20-2010, 06:37 AM

Hello,

I have a java application running under Linux (Suse). My application communicates with a windows service via TCP/IP. I had multiple cases where the windows service crashed and I'm wondering if in such case there is any Linux or java tool I could use to remotely restart this Windows service.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Alain

Take a look at Nagios. You can monitor a remote Windows service with NSClient++ addon and restart if it die via the check_nrpe.

Or just do:

Code:

  Runtime.exec ("net start ..")
