IF program closes THEN load this program

[attorneyatlaw]

Ok... Long story short... I have a voicemail program that I use for
business.. For whatever reason, after a ton of voicemails, it
crashes/closes... SO... I was hoping I can find a program that will
AUTOMATICALLY reload the program IF the programs crashes/closes.

Is there such a program?? I know there are programs that will load
certain programs at a particular time (I.e. 12:01 pm), but I'm hoping
to find a program that will load the program IF something happens (i.e.
the program closes).
Any ideas? PLEASE help. Thanks in advance & have a GREAT holiday.

Fundi's Monitor is a powerful tool that (among other uses) enables the
user to ensure that an on-line game server (or whatever application you
use) keeps running at all times. Once the user has told Monitor to keep
an eye on a program (such as the one running on a MOHAA server), Monitor
will load the program if it isn't running, restart it if it crashes and
even close any additional copies of the program if someone accidentally
launches more than one. It can monitor any number of programs and keep
any number of instances (or copies) of each program running. It can
interact with Windows dialogs and do anything from clicking a button to
closing the dialog; it can even shut down the program that displayed the
dialog.

Free to download and use for 30 days, $9.95 if you decide to keep it.

(yech) will do and it is totally freeware in the stricktest sense of the
word.

Sorry.... NONE of the programs suggested are workign... I do NOT want to be
online when I use the voicemail program. Basically, imagine I load the game
PacMan. IF the pacman game crashes and/or closes, then I want the program
to automatically reload the program and/or simply reboot. It has nothing to
do with being online (most of the programs suggested deal within a
disconnection).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.... In a nutshell, all I want is a program to
do is automatically reboot the computer IF a particular program
closes/crashes.

Auto Restart is a utilty that will keep any program running no matter
what happens to it. If a user closes the program or even if the program
crashes, Auto Restart will start it back up again. This is useful to
keep programs running in a kiosk environment, or to keep critical
programs such as server daemons from going off-line in the event of a
program crash. Auto Restart runs in the system tray and is
password-protected so that only an administrator can change its settings
or shut it down. In addition, Auto Restart has the following features:

* Command line arguments can be passed to the restarted program.
* Restarts can be logged to a file (useful for troubleshooting or
debugging a program that crashes).
* A script can be run every time the program is restarted.
* Program can be restarted minimized or maximized, with or without
focus.

Might be worth looking at Autoit.

I use it myself to do a similar task - reopen a program if it closes.
Don't know how you'd get it to deal with a crashed program, but
there's bound to be a script function you can adapt.
Once you've created a script, you can create a custom .exe file from
it.

I believe that there's a forum dedicated to this program, so you might
even find someone who can help you knock up a working script.

What happens if Auto Restart crashes?

I recommend CobShield to monitor services. I use it and it works great.
You can even configure it to email you when a service stops.

What happens if Auto Restart crashes?

It creates a paradox, which then tears a hole in the space/time
continuum - thus allowing hordes of multidimensional beasts into our
universe...and repeats of 'The Love Boat'.

This is actually quite common - in fact, it's the combined effects of
millions of Windows systems crashing that allowed for the creation of
Ant & Dec.
