Service Recovery
When running AlarmTraq as a Windows service you now have the option to restart
the service at the end of the nightly maintenance routine. Restarting the
service will clear down all modem ports, database connections and any open
sockets (SMTP, SNMP).
In order to have AlarmTraq automatically restart the service, you must edit the
Windows registry and change the
AutoSystemRestart key from False
to True.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Reilly Telecom\AlarmTraq\AutoSystemRestart]
Windows has built-in service Recovery functionality that you can configure. To
configure Recovery for a Service failure:
Start / Programs / Administrative Tools / Services.
1.
Double-click the AlarmTraq service.
2.
Select the Recovery tab. Set your Recovery options to
Restart the Service.
3.
Regardless of the Recovery option you choose, you can Reset fail count after n
days.
4. Select Restart the Service, you may configure Restart service after n
minutes.

Once the service has been configured, when AlarmTraq completes it's
maintenance routine it will terminate the process and Windows will restart the
AlarmTraq service after 1 minute.
