hi all

im not too knowledgable with all this.. but im running a chatserver on win2k server and im wondering if there is any way to have the machine reboot automatically if the chatserver application becomes unresponsive or crashes?

You can have the system reboot itself automatically if the kernel crashes, but I'm not sure how you would have the system reboot from the chat server. You could probably write a small script to check if the chat server is active, and if not, use a system DLL to restart the system.

If your chat script is running as a service you can use the Service Recovery options to make it restart the service or restart the server itself.
