Send Email Notification if service is Stopped

  • 772

Working on this script to get email notification when 1 or more services are not running.

something is wrong here, it sends: System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController is running

 $service=Get-Service "VSS"
    if ($Service.Status -ne "Running") {
    $Body ="$service is not running"
    }
    else {
      $Body = "$service is running "
    }

    $From = "email"
    $To = "emails"
    $SMTPServer = "smtp"
    $SMTPPort = "587"
    $Username = "email"
    $Password = "password"
    $Body =$body
    $Subject = "$computer$ status"
    $smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTPServer, $SMTPPort);
    $smtp.EnableSSL = $false
    $smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
    $smtp.Send($From, $To, $subject, $body); 
    $computer = $env:computername

    if your question is, why it returns system.something instead of your service name, it is because $service is not just the Name of the Service, it's the whole information of the service, that's why it returns System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController insted of VSS. refer to the Service Name:

    $service = Get-Service "VSS" 
if ($Service.Status -ne "Running") { 
    $Body = "$($service.name) is not running" 
} else { 
    $Body = "$($service.name) is running " 
}
