Powershell script for checking any specific file or event viewer for exceptions remotely then send email and restart the windows service.
===============================================================================================================================
This script is for Checking "OutOfMemoryException" or any type of exception in the windows server/machine and then it will send email notification and then restart the respective service.
example: In our case, we have a old service program, which is running on windows and we haven't source code of this one. so after running few days it is stopped by ourofmemory exception. sometime we couldn't know when it was stopped how many days it was stopped. but it should run 24/7 hours.
so after geting informed that it is not running then someone needs to start it manually. (it is also a problem at night or weekend time). so i wrote this script and it solved our problem. but now we are trying to build a new one. it will take time.
1) create a powershell script (.ps1) file with this follwing code like, script_for_outofmemory.ps1
=============================================================================================================================================================
=========================================================================================================================================================
2) Create a schedule job with you desire interval via passing below action parameter
Note: create the job with privileage user (execute as a different user).
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File C:\halim_documents\script_for_outofmemory.ps1
note: (For invoking windows powershell.exe from remote machine and with different user, you can {press shift + right click on windows powershell.exe} then click on "run as diferent user" put user_name and password
