Basically we have 2 instances of 24x7 running on different servers. We do this to share the load of there process. Occassionally one of the servers goes down so I wondered;

IS there any code to be able to setup 24x7 as a redundent server arrangement?

Can 24x7 detect if any instance of 24x7 is running on a remote server?

Any help appreciated.

Check if the fail-over mode will serve your needs. See on-line help for more details.

Because the servers perform different tasks, I need each server to test whether the other server is running. If one is not running I need to run some code to update a database to redirect jobs. If both setup in Master-Master situtation can they still monitor if the other is running?

Yes. You can create a JAL script job using PingPort command to test the other server is running and if not, trigger some actions or perhaps enable some prepared in advance and purposely disabled "standby" jobs.

Ok will look into ping port.

If server is on, but 24x7 may not be running as a process on a remote server. Is it possible to check is it is running? As a service or a process?

PingPort will tell you if 24x7 on the other server is not accessible. Whether 24x7 process is not running, server is down or the entire network is down is irrelevant for PingPort.

Hopefully one last questions. There was a list of ports for key windows services. Which port does 24x7 use?

The default is 1096. Verify this in the Tools/Options menu; Network page

thanks, worked a charm.
