I was wondering, if there was a VBScript that i could use that would send me an email when a particular service stops? I've looked around the Net and can't really find anything.
Basically, I have a service that runs all through the night and needs to be running all day, and if it randomly crashes or stops, I want to know about this via an email. I want this to happen automatically.
I am trying to send email from a Windows service but understand that I cannot use MAPI to achieve this. It is a simple service that monitirs a folder and I wish to notify a user by email that a file has been added to the folder.

We know the �Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
I have a windows service that I've written in vb.net using vs 2008 targeting ASP.NET 3.5. It appears that it's installing in a running state, but with the start mode set to manual. Is there a way I can have the service be initially stopped? I assume that it would be something in my service installer, but haven't been able to find it.
View 4 RepliesAll, I have a Custom object which I have written using VB.NET (.net 2.0). The object instantiates its own threading.timer object and carries out a number of background process including periodic interrogation of an oracle database and delivery of emails via smtp according to data detected in the database. The following is the code implemented in the windows service class [Code].
After a little bit of experimentation I arrived at the above code in the OnStart method. All functionality passed testing when deployed from VS2005 on my development PC, however when deployed on a true target machine, the service would not start and responds with the following message: "The service on local computer started and then stopped..." Am I going about this the correct way? If not how can I best implement my incident manager within the confines of the Windows Service class. It seems pointless to implement a timer for the incident-manager because this already implements its own timer.
I am sending an email with an attachment using the following Code
Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(req.EmailFrom, req.EmailTo)
Dim att As New System.Net.Mail.Attachment("C:Documents and SettingsmichaelrDesktop1216259.pdf")
With msg
.Attachments.Add(att)
[code]....
The file size of the attachment is 396KB, upon the recipient receiving the email outlook shows the file size as 543Kb. Strange thing is if I send an email with the same attachment using outlook the file size is 396Kb.I understand that file sizes can increase due to the attachment being base 64 encoded as opposed to just raw binary.What I am failing to see is why outlook send a file which is 396KB in size but in code when sending it, the same file is 543Kb.
how would i implement a way that i would not hard code the email message that the application send to email recipients? how will i also include email message formatting (text in bold, italic, etc.)?

Is the problem that I need to show "credentials" (i.e. user/pass)? If so, what would those credentials be? Can I use my yahoo email SMTP server with my login info to do it? And is this all I'd need to add to add the credentials?

(before the smtp.Send, of course)
