IntroductionIntroductionIt is often impractical for a person to manually monitor the programs or services that must always be running. It is also often undesirable to rely on a person to restart the program or service, especially when the application or service can stop during out-of-hours or unattended times. StartWaitStart provides a solution by continually monitoring an application or service and re-starting it when it stops or automatically after a period of time.
Features
Services: the program can monitor a service.
How to use
The program is extremely simple to use. First, select either the mode as either an Application or Service to monitor:
The program also saves all values to the registry so that the next time the program is run the last used settings are automatically set.
Automatically starting an application or service:
The program can also be started automatically by passing values on the command line. The format of the command line is:
/a:fullpathname , /s:servicename , /m:norm , /m:min , /m:max , /p:params , /c:checkrate , /r:restartrate , /l:yes-log , l:no-log
All items must be separated by a comma , however not all parameters need to be supplied (those not supplied will be replaced by the last used settings)
It should be noted that the /a: and /s: settings are mutually exclusive, and that the /p: setting is only valid with the /a: setting.
Download, Evaluate and Purchase
This program is designed for Microsoft Windows 98 (and later) and requires that the Visual Basic 6 Run-time environment is already installed on the pc (download vbrun60sp5.exe from the Microsoft web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=47&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=bf9a24f9-b5c5-48f4-8edd-cdf2d29a79d5&u=details.aspx%3ffamilyid%3d9EF9BF70-DFE1-42A1-A4C8-39718C7E381D%26displaylang%3den).
The program also requires a very common file that most computers already have installed "COMDLG32.OCX", which is included in the zip file below, which should be located in the same folder as the extracted startwaitstart execuatable.
The program is not free but it can be freely downloaded and evaluated for as long as required and is not limited in any way, subject to the following terms and conditions:
