Hi Ken,
You had pointed me in the right direction regarding the
psstools in order to create a batch file that can remotely start
and stop services.
i used the psexec command and am able to successfully restart
the services needed remotely... however when i pick the file in the
coldfusion administrator (in the probes section) how to i point to
the batch file to run? it seems like the probe is not running the
script like i want... the file is located on the c:\ so i entered
c:\test2.bat...
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
You should review the online help in the cfadmin for probes
and the links it points you to in the developer's guide. Basically
you need to define a new probe in the cfadmin by clicking the
"Define New Probe" button. One of the probe's attributes will be
what action. Define the action as a program and point it at a batch
file running psexec. You will probably need to run CFMX as a
specific user and not as localsystem, which is the default.
