Hi there, I'm wanting to provide an administrative area in our ColdFusion web application that can report the status of the NowSMS service (e.g., running or stopped). Is there anything builtin to NowSMS that will let me query this? I could always resort to running a local script on the server to check the status. Just wondering if there was another way to do it? Thanks. | |||

Hi, There's not really anything built-in for this ... but when I've done these types of things in the past (not specifically for NowSMS, but generally) ... I've basically used connection tests to determine if a service was running. This way you can also detect if a service or machine has failed, or if there is an intermediate network failure. Basically, you want to attempt connections to one or more of the web ports, and validate that you get a valid response back. -bn | |||
