System and method for providing out-of-band notification of service changes

摘要

A system and method for detecting a failure of a first process is disclosed. According to one aspect, a first connection is established between a first process and a second process. A monitoring mechanism monitors the status of the first process to detect whether the first process has failed. In response to determining that the first process has failed, the monitoring mechanism causes an out-of-band message to be sent to the second process.
