Monitoring apllications

Hi,
Is there a way with SIM that I can set alerts if a .exe stops responding or closes down?

Thanks

For a ProLiant running Windows, open Control Panel --> HP Management Agents --> Processes and select the services you want to alert on and alert on start, stop or both.

As David has said, HPSIM can pick up the stop /start of a service.
But it doesn't do what something like Nagios does which is monitor individual ports, e.g. it can monitor the response from web servers etc.

You may need to be clearer about what you want to do and on what platform(s)

Thanks for the responses guys...
Basically, some of my W2K3 servers run in house developed .exe's. For example we load Oracle client and parse data or run verifications against tables, I just wanted to know if I could have an alert if these .exe's stop, rather than reporting on a Windows service.
