Powershell script to check/change the status of services. For use with Icinga/NSClient++.


Show on Icinga Exchange.


What does this script do?


At first run, this Powershell script creates a snapshot of all running services in form of a .json file.


Every run after that it will check the currently running services against the snapshot and start services to change back to running.


Return codes


    

  • Returns 0 if every service from the list could be started or all needed services were already running.
    • 

  • Returns 2 if an error occured while starting a stopped service.
    • 



Logging


Every change and tried change in service state will be logged with a timestamp in a file called mansvc.log.


To Do


    

  • Add support for stopped services
    • 

  • Add exception messages to log
    • 

  • Add pretty logo to make README look cool :)
