Server Auto Restart?

[mywarthog]

Does anyone know of any good server auto restart programs, for like if a server is accidentally closed down or if it crashes to an Exception?

I'm looking for one that can handle multiple processes at once, doesn't take a lot of CPU Power when it polls, and preferrably logs when it restarts the server (although this is not required).

I used FireDaemon Pro and FireDaemon Trinity back in the day. Lets you setup a web UI as well that lets you give access to admins to remotely start/restart/stop the server process. It automatically restarts the server if it exceptions or hangs as well, multiple options for handling this as well.

I don't think they offer Trinity anymore though, I believe it was replaced with something called Fusion.

FireDaemon Pro on its own is what manages all the process restarts and the like though. Fusion is a free addon that adds the web features.

Just looked into those... Pro costs $49... but there's also one called daeMON that's free. I can't find any detailed comparisons on the site between the two... more specifically, I can't find if Fusion will work with daeMON and if daeMON restarts processes as well.

If I can't get Fusion running with it, it's not the end of the world... originally, I just wanted the process checker itself. I'll try downloading it and see if it works, I guess.

Thanks.

The DaeMON is just a monitoring application for FireDaemon Pro I believe... Like any company with a product to sell, they still make you invest in the base product before giving you the free addons.

If you host any other servers on Windows and want some easy process monitoring with the ability to start/restart/stop them from the web like the big game hosting companies let you do, it's definitely worth looking into!
