Does this exist? - program to check if anothe program is running

[sP]

There MUST be a (hopefully freeware) program X that will periodically
check if program Y is running. If program Y has crashed then program X
will start it again.

Yes, I've got program Y already. It needs to be running all the time,
but crashes 2-3 times a day. Can't change program Y to another and don't
like using Scheduled Tasks to fix this situation (could it even do this,
dunno).

Anyone know anything?

Scroll down to the bottom of the web page and look for "Auto Restart" by
Eric Holt. Excellent Program that automatically restarts a program that
has ended.

Thanks for the info! Auto Restart sounds promising, I'll give it a try.
