# title: Check for Service Outage
# description: This script checks for any service that is not running that needs to be running. This script creates a temp file with a list of the services that are not running and when this is detected as having values the script imports the entries from the .csv and emails them to the appropriate individuals. This script was designed to be ran repeatedly as a scheduled task.
