[mapguide-users] Check if service is running?

[Jason Birch]

Well, I made some headway on this, but ran into a bug along the way:
 
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/Scarab?id=MG269
 
I could have sworn that I had reported this earlier, but I couldn't find it in the PT.  Basically NET START "MapGuide Server" does not work because of a name conflict with the "Server" service.  Anyone else see this?  The SC command (possibly another XP/2k3-specific command) appears to work because it only accepts the service name.
 
You can download a draft PHP CLI health monitoring utility here:

Note, this utility is probably XP/Win2k3-specific. Let me know what you think.

I wish Windows had the same kind of consistent command line tools that unix does.  I'm trying to think of a way to deal with this across Win2k/XP/Win2k3, but short of using the Sysinternals tools I'm drawing a blank.  ps and grep would really come in handy.
 
- The Windows KILL command doesn't appear to have a mechanism for identifying the process ID beforehand.  
 
- The TASKKILL command appears to have everything we need, but it isn't available in 2000
 
I think I'm going to take the easy way out and use TASKKILL, with alternate instructions for downloading and using pskill.
