Monitor And Restart Crashed Windows Processes

Even solid well programmed applications crash from time to time. This might not be a huge problem most of the time but it can be one in specific situations. This is especially true in a server environment where some processes, like a mail server, ftp server or streaming media server, have to be running all the time to provide access to their functionality to clients that are connected to it.

Most servers come with tools to restart crashed applications or to notify a system administrator to fix the problem. Home servers or single user computers on the other hand do not have these tools on board. That’s where Restarter comes into play.

The small program can monitor selected Windows processes and restart them if they fail to respond. The software program will display a list of all running Windows processes upon startup. Single processes can be selected from the list so that they are monitored and restarted if they crash.

Several options are provided to make the software more versatile. It is possible to define startup parameters, a working directory and the application monitoring interval which is set to five seconds by default. Application crashes are by default written to a log file.

Crashed Windows processes can be restarted. This option is enabled by default as well. It is possible to restart them in minimized state and to play a sound to notify the user. The process monitor can furthermore kill unresponsive tasks automatically to restart them again.

The Restarter uses roughly 10 Megabytes of computer memory while running and monitoring applications in the background. It is compatible with most versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 7 and can be downloaded from the developer’s website.
