Hello everyone, 
I currently have a powershell script that allows you to restart the Milestone services while writing the status format .txt from windows it works, but now I would like to send the results of the .txt file to the Alarm Manager - SmartClient.
If there is another simpler solution, I am listening 
You will find my code below
param (
# Specifies the service name
#[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
#string$serviceName = '',
# Specifies the directory for the log file
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
[string]$logPath = 'C:\Scripts\Logs',
# Specifies the max number of service Start attempts per run
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
[int]$maxTries = 3,
# Specifies the number of seconds to wait before trying again after a failed start attempt or before rechecking a Pending status
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
[int]$secondsBeforeRetry = 30
)
$list_ServiceMilestone = @("MilestoneEventServerService","Milestone XProtect Data Collector Server","Milestone XProtect Log Server","Milestone XProtect Management Server","Milestone XProtect Mobile Server","Milestone XProtect Recording Server")
