I am running listserv 1.8e on Win 2000. Ever so often our SQL server will hang up and in the process it will cause the List Serv to hang as well. I think this occurs if a job is sent to it while it's DB connection to the SQL server is down. Is there a way to detect this, I thought about monitoring the services, but wasn't sure if this would actually detect the outage, since the service is still showing the running status.
