SOLUTION? - Does anyone know how to automatically restart a program if closed??

[marknetwork]

Hello,

I am building a Golden Tee cabinet and will be basing it off of the Windows Version of Golden Tee, but unfortunately it gives the option of exiting the program.  I've been looking for a solution to automatically reload the program if someone exits.  Is there a script or a program available to do this?

Someone hits exit, or program crashes >> Program automatically restarts if closed

Anyone?? Anything?? Please oh please I have been looking forever!!

Thanks,
Mark

Try a batch file, something like:

Code: [Select]

@ECHO OFF
:START
goldentee.exe
GOTO START

Years ago there was a "watchdog" or "daemon" service that would monitor a process and restart it if it died.  After several consecutive failures it would reboot the machine.  I just did a quick search and didn't see anything but what you're looking for does exist.

Search around "watchdog", "daemon", and "critical service monitoring."

@ECHO OFF
:START
goldentee.exe
GOTO START

THIS WORKED PERFECTLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

That doesn't fire off multiple instances of the executable?

That doesn't fire off multiple instances of the executable?

If it does try this:

Code:
@ECHO OFF
:START
start /wait goldentee.exe
GOTO START

It shouldn't.  If memory serves you can launch a process from a batch file with @call some.exe.  That will launch the .exe in a separate command process and continue your batch.  The batch as provided will launch the game and won't continue to the next step until the .exe is done (or crashed)
