Policy Server Status and Batch file scheduling

This post is mainly for knowing policy server status and scheduling batch file to print policy server status on smps log every 5 mins.

To print policy server status use simple command "smpolicysrv -stats"

Batch file: (Open notepad, copy and paste below 6 lines and save as status.bat)

@echo off
REM - File: SiteMinderPolicyServerstatus.bat
REM - Description: SiteMinder Policy Server status
echo SiteMinder Policy Server status
smpolicysrv -stats
echo status printed


To test batch file just open command prompt and run the batch file. Following lines should be printed in smps log
