(I *thought* that would get your attention!) I had a SQL Agent service stop unexpectedly and I didn't find out for a couple of days. So I've found out from a previous question how to set up a PowerShell script to run when the service crashes. The script sends me an email and works fine when I run it, but who knows what context it will run under if this really happens and whether the email will still be sent.
So do you know how I can deliberately crash one of the SQL-related services on a 2008 R2 instance please? Any of them would do: SQL Server, SQL Agent, Reporting Services etc. Be as diabolical as you like but something that's reversable!
