Under SQL Server 7.0, you can see whether SQL Mail is running or stopped by opening SQL Server Enterprise Manager and selecting a server listed under SQL Server Group. Under the server item, expand the database folder items, then select the Support Services folder, which will show SQL Mail's status.
Keeping this in consideration, how can I check my SQL agent status?
To view job activity
- In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
- Expand SQL Server Agent.
- Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
- In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
Likewise, how can I tell if a SQL database is taken offline? To check, who changed the SQL Server database status to OFFLINE, please follow the below steps.
- Connect to SQL Server → open SQL Server logs and scan through the logs.
- Now go to Windows event viewer (under Administrative Tools) and open Application logs.
Herein, how can I tell if SQL is running?
To check the status of the SQL Server Agent:
- Log on to the Database Server computer with an Administrator account.
- Start Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- In the left pane, verify the SQL Server Agent is running.
- If the SQL Server Agent is not running, right-click SQL Server Agent, and then click Start.

How do I check if my DB is up?

- Check whether the Oracle Process run or not #> ps -ef | grep pmon.
