I have a service that needs to be monitored every minute. I need some help understanding how services go from soft to a hard state and if an event handler can be run after a service has gone into a hard state. I'm sure everyone has a very dynamic and custom environment to some extent. I have event handlers that will not run if a lock file is present (cause i am deploying code or so other scripts do not step on each other). So I for this service that I monitor every minute, I have Max Retries set to 3, Check Interval is 1, and retry interval is 1. Can someone help shed some light on how I can get an event handler to run again after a service has gone into a hard state? Thanks, JB
