    Please don't use all caps. It is equivalent to yelling. Also please don't cross post (removed the other one).

    You don't want to do this in SQL Server. [font="Arial Black"]Use Windows at the service level to check if the service is running[/font], and if not, send an email that way.

    How would one do such a thing?

    As a bit of a side bar and a play on words, "Just because you can do something in SQL Server, doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T"! 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
