Any tools for local PC service monitoring?
Posted by James Kahn on May 10, 2008 in tech
I’ve got an HP multifunction printer (Photosmart 3310), with terrible drivers. It works fine except for one issue - periodically the corresponding services on my PC spin up to 100% CPU, and stay there until I restart the service or reboot my PC. If this happens when I’m not plugged into power it really eats the battery on my laptop.
Does anyone know of a tool I could use that monitors Windows services and restarts a service if, say, it’s been at 100% CPU for a minute?

You could use a tool like servers alive. http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/
Or use Opsmgr
but a bit heavy to run local

Opsmgr is waaaay too heavy - not to mention I’m sure it doesn’t run under Vista!
Servers Alive looks good, although I was looking for a freebie, seeing as it’s just a PC thing
Thanks mate.
