You can set services to automatically restart if they fail/error.
Otherwise you could have a script (a la expect) that could login
from a remote box via telnet, rsh or ssh. Then you
have a shell on the box. Then run either the service command that
comes with Interix/SFU or use the "net" command to restart a service.
The auto restart is the easier way though.

yeah we tried this and it fails to restart, however a remote session and we can restart it.

The auto restart is an eaiser way.
The bigger picture is
We have Nagios running on Redhat. It can detect that the service is down. The service is the NDS service running on a regional server, so the local users can't login until it is running.
What I want to do is have a script run from the nagios box to start the failed service on the windows box. If only they had let me make them linux boxes this wouldnot have been problem.

So you can have a non-local user login to start it via telnet or ssh?
Or do we need another idea :-)

OK I tried that and everyone went mental about the Idea of turning on telnet or secure shell ( the 1st I can understand, but the second). Also seeing how I can do so much with SMNP that they don't appear to aware of.
Anyway the telnet/ssh idea is out, any other Ideas?

Like I said they went mental, meaning that they had no real issues that they could Identify for me.
We exist in a sheltered environment as part of the tasmanian state govenrment ( in Australia). If any crackers would have to get through 3 external firewalls befor they could listen to telnet traffic, let alone ssh traffic ands it's own encryption.
And knowing that the RPC ports are open, I just haven't mentioned this to the others, however to make a change I have to inform others.
What I was wondering is can we make a simle RPC request to restart a service on a windows server, from a linux server?

I'm not aware of anything tha would automatically be on your system already.
You can use the RPC library to build your own program to do it.
I did a search and found at least one commercial product that does this
as a central monitor/restart-remote. But as a package, not just the "client
side".

I think I will go off and try to build something
