Guys,

We had some issues here - a certain process was blocking other processes, things were hanging and caused problems. I am now thinking to set up some type of monitoring to prevent this in the future.

The goal is to be able to tell which processID is blocking which processID for > 't' amount of time and send an alert if such a situation occurs.

Can someone suggest a way of doing it?

I am currently exploring how I can utilize master..sysprocesses for this purpose, but cannot figure out best way of achieving this goal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
