Nag event handlers restarting failed programs on NT ?

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Is anyone using Nagios (event handlers) to restart failed programs on NT 
hosts.

In this case Nagios can detect the failed program (by 'tailing' the 
dumped event log on a share - the program will write a heartbet log 
record to show that is still alive).

However, how could it restart the program ?

1 sshd on the NT host ?

2 Do there exist public (ie Samba-TNG, Samba-head) RPC code that can 
start programs on NT boxes ? 

3 Any other suggestions ?

Yours sincerely.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
