I have created a windows service that sends email reminders every 30 seconds. 10 days before it was working fine but now it doesn’t run until it is restarted manually from services.msc
Once it is restarted, the service then sends email.
The window service is written in C# and in Visual Studio 2005.
Let me know if any info needed.
Thanks for your inputs!

Many times for windows services’ problems, looking at windows event’s logs enables to target disfunction, but as said by Jon Skeet : Hard to give you more precise orientation without details.
