Watchdog Software?
K6GKM:
I'm looking for a utility to monitor and manage uptime for my critical applications such as Weather Display and Weather Message. I used to use StartWatch, but I don't believe it's being developed or supported anymore. I've also heard folks talk about Tripp Lite's WatchDog software, but that's no longer available either.
Can anyone recommend a current software utility that could replace these tools?
Thanks,
BoDuke:
I have not personally used either of these Windows applications since I haven't had a need for them but they are two free options I found when I was looking for something to do that:
Restart on Crash

ProcessAlive

Hope this helps!

I still use StartWatch. Watches my WD and CumulusMX installs. Don't think either of those two ever crash, but it StartWatch does keep them running. Sometimes I forget to tell SW to stop monitoring during an update. SW fires them right back up on me.
I use it to fire up a couple of other non-weather related programs. Just like that I can delay them 10 minutes after startup.

Ahh... I went searching the interwebs for StartWatch to download a fresh setup file the other day and couldn't find it. Googled it just now and nearly tripped over the download link. :oops: I must be getting old. We'll get StartWatch going again with the new install.
