shaking my head again at a process that I've made a suggestion on how to 'fix'
Several of the POS card scanners have an issue with the Windows Service stopping. Have to remote to the desktop to restart them...
Has to be a better way and one that doesn't keep requiring Human intervention which may take 5-20 minutes depending on IT availability.
Powershell script that runs once a minute (or once every x minutes) to check the service and restart it if needed?
My thoughts. Was about half way writing it when it was discovered that:
Powershell is disabled ...
Use the command line then...
net start servicename -
What about having the service auto start on failure?

It is already set to auto start on failure. just that it fails enough it stops.

Laughing my ass off at red tape. Get a project. Reach out to specific vendors and get get the pricing and options. List four good options, with a #1 recommendation suitable for us. Get together with the C levels, and get it shot down as 'C' levels want to verify what we actually need from the options (which I did already). C levels spend several weeks in meetings, internally, externally... and come back with the exact same #1 recommendation. Pfft.
So they are IT now?
By all accounts, yes.

frustrating yes, but at least they came back with same decision. coming back with a different decision would have been worse for you i'm guessing.

I like Twitter for photography, but literally everything that isn't someone sharing pictures is someone being a whiny, entitled brat. The reason that I like Instagram is the lack of community.

I thought I read that they are testing something along that line.
