When the LANDesk Inventory Server Service stops, inventory scans stop. This is a bad thing.

This utility will check the status of the LANDesk Inventory Server Service and restart the service if it is not running.

Add this utility to the server's Scheduled Tasks and never worry about the LANDesk Inventory Server Service being stopped again.

I currently have this scheduled to run hourly.

The following is the actual flow of the program:

Create log file (inv_restart.log) in the folder the utility is run from.

Check the LANDesk Inventory Server Service status.

Log Status.

If LANDesk Inventory Server Service is not Running

  Send Start command

  Wait 10 seconds for LANDesk Inventory Server Service to start

Else

  Exit

Check the LANDesk Inventory Server Service status again.

Log Status.

If LANDesk Inventory Server Service is not Running

  Wait 30 seconds longer for LANDesk Inventory Server Service to start

  Check the LANDesk Inventory Server Service status again.

  Log Status.

Else

  Exit
