App not running notification app?

54and56 · 2020-03-04 23:38:34

Hi all, I'd like an app to run 24/7 on a Win 10 PC but I'm often away from the PC for days at a time. Does anyone know of a monitoring app which will check a specified app/process is running and if it doesn't find it running send an email or SMS alerting me that it isn't running so I could then take action to get the app…

Hi all,

I'd like an app to run 24/7 on a Win 10 PC but I'm often away from the PC for days at a time.

Does anyone know of a monitoring app which will check a specified app/process is running and if it doesn't find it running send an email or SMS alerting me that it isn't running so I could then take action to get the app back up and running?

Cheers.

Probably best to write a powershell script, and then put that into the scheduler to run every hour or so. At worst, it'll be down for an hour or so.

old school
AT /EVERY can be used to run a script

You can use PSLIST from windows sysinternals to list what's running

BLAT can email http://www.blat.net/faq/

Or you can setup the program as a service and let the OS sort it out
YMMV on this
