Gidday Does anyone know how to restart a linux service from a winxp machine. At the moment I go to my Fedora Core (FC6) linux server with the Falko LAMP and as root I type: #service bplogin restart I want to do it remotely from a windows xp machine which is on the same network. The reason is that something kills my internet access a couple of times a day, it used to only happen once a month but now getting worse, and until i find out why, a php solution would be good, espaeciallty for staff to reset the service when I am not here.

If you want to start a service that has failed, I recommend to install monit: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/
Thanks Falco I have set up Monit and its great. I am now using it to monitor apache, php and sql. Is there a way or a script to call telnet or ssh from WinXP and have it do the following automatically [telnet 192.168.1.56 (then) su - (then) service bplogin restart So I can make an icon, and non tech staff could double click and it all happens?
