Monitor SQL agent

Hi,
we know that SQL agent controls the job's schedule & running, but if SQL
agent stop working, all jobs will not be able to be executed, is there any
tool/method to monitor SQL agent if it stopped, hung or wrong from another
SQL server, so the other SQL server will send operator notification?
Thanks in advance.
JackNot directly. But you can code it yourself. Use a combination of xp_cmdshell
and netsvc (I believe
that the utility is called with which you can check and start/stop services
on another machine). You
can pull the result into a table and then check against that table.
