    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
