Yes, Windows 2003 is a Microsoft product. No, I'm not being
sarcastic - just honest.
I have this issue occur with various services on different servers
deployed in many different environments. It is not unusual to have
things become unstable that were previously rock solid - considering
the sheer number of security updates that occur every month, I'm
surprised it happens so infrequently. Of course, I may be preaching
to the choir here.
My work around for misbehaving services is to set the restart
parameters for the specific service. It dies, the system waits a
specific time period and restarts the service. Microsoft gives us 3
slots to make those decision points. You can even script the final
event to fire off an email to you advising the untimely death of your
FD service so you don't have to stumble upon the rotting carcass that
was suppose to be a nice backup job.
