Can I automatically restart application by schedule?

[Novox]

Hello Sir,

I have some issue with my program that it is always inaccessible for every few hour (application running fine, NOT non-responsible OR crash) so, I need to schedule this software to automatically close and then start it again. For example, close and start again every 1 hour. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Create a batch script with the command "taskkill /F /IM process.exe" | start C:\path\to\program.exe"

Set it to run every hour through Scheduled Tasks.

"Taskkill" command doesn't work with XP Home, so if you have that OS..

Never knew that taskkill isn't present in Home. BTW, who uses the lame Home ?

I kept on forgetting that taskkill doesn't work with XP Home

XP Home doesn't come with advanced settings like gpedit.msc, taskkil, etc

Hi Raymond,

According to your reply. I can't using "|", I need to separate it into 2 line.

taskkill /F /IM process.exe | start C:\path\to\program.exe >> Not works


>>Works well
taskkill /F /IM process.exe
start C:\path\to\program.exe

What is the different if I use | instead of using new line? Any benefit? or it is the same?

Thanks!
