Check Services Loop Script

[PU36]

I would like to create a batch file that will loop to checks two services to make sure they are running. If they aren't then start them. The services are 'spooler' and 'ProtectedStorage'.

For some reason they keep stopping and I'm trying to figure out when they are being stopped. I have everything else in the batch set to email me when this occurs, I just can't figure out the "Loop" process.

Thanks

Wouldn't those show up in the system event log as having stopped?

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colRunningServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Service")
For Each objService in colRunningServices
	If objService.Name = "Spooler" Or objService.DisplayName = "ProtectedStorage" Then
 	    Wscript.Echo objService.DisplayName  & VbTab & objService.State & vbCrLf
 	End IF
Next

I hope you find this post helpful.

That will work perfect. I'll just add my own little part that starts the service and sends me an email.
