Check to see if a server is runningThis is similar to another post I did where I would like to check one server
from another server programmatically (from a service) to see if it is running and then act accordingly if it isn't. Send an email, for instance. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks, Tom You can always just ping it. This is easily done with the new class in .NET
