[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1095855, member: 82144"] It is possible to get the log files if TV Server is running, but how do you intend to access the logs if the TV Server is not running? Must the log folder be shared; use a separate watchdog/logs service; or...??? In general the idea to add TV Server functions to the watchdog is reasonable, but I can think of a few implementation problems like: [LIST] [*]with TVE 3.5 the log directory changes depending on the environment (MP2 Server or standalone) [*]if the watchdog is running on the client, security/user configuration must be perfect to allow the watchdog to control the TV service (restarting the controller is not a full/proper restart) [*]with TVE 3.5, TV service and configuration logs go to separate folders [/LIST] Actually IMO if TV Server is going to be completely separate from MP, it makes more sense to me to have a separate TV Server watchdog.
