I am looking for a way to send an email via a batch files.
I have a very critical service running on my windows 2000 machine/server and I need to know if it crashes. The only options i have are to restart the service or run a file/program (Restart the computer is definatly out). I figure run a batch file that sends me a email to my wireless phone saying the service has crashed. Problem is I don't know how to send such an email in DOS. I googled this and found some programs that will send the file however my company doesn't want to spend ANY money. We had a tornado hit our IT center and it cost us the rest of the budget to repair the servers and such.

So I need a way to send an email via a dos batch file.

HELP PLEASE...

I have outlook 2000 loaded on this machine as well. but when I performed a switch on the outlook.exe software(outlook.exe /?) I got an error saying invalid switch.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
