This is a Powershell script to restart a service if it’s down.
$ServiceName = 'GCEAgent' $arrService = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName if ($arrService.Status -ne 'Running') { Start-Service $ServiceName write-host $arrService.status write-host 'Service starting' Start-Sleep -seconds 60 $arrService.Refresh() if ($arrService.Status -eq 'Running') { Write-Host 'GCE Agent Service is now Running' } } else { Write-Host 'GCE Agent Service is Running' } |

Here’s how to check if instances are running in GCP.
#!/bin/bash while IFS=', ' read -r a b c; do instance="${a//[[:blank:]]/}" project="${b//[[:blank:]]/}" zone="${c//[[:blank:]]/}" gcloud compute instances describe $instance \ --zone $zone --project $project \ --format='table[no-heading](name,status,zone)' done < instance-list.txt |
#!/bin/bash while IFS=', ' read -r a b c; do instance="${a//[[:blank:]]/}" project="${b//[[:blank:]]/}" zone="${c//[[:blank:]]/}" gcloud compute instances describe $instance \ --zone $zone --project $project \ --format='table[no-heading](name,status,zone)' done < instance-list.txt
Instances are read from an external file. File is comma delimited with instance name, project id and zone data.
