How to send email msg if a program stops

[OscarVogel]

We have a Windows 2000 computer that should always be running a
particular executable program. Sometimes the program closes
unexpectedly. I want the system to send an email whenever the program
is closed (including whenever the system reboots). How can I set up an
alert to do that?

Performance Monitor can send an alert via email. Might want to see if you
can use that.

Is running you application as a service an option? that way you could
configure the service to restart after each failure?

Good idea, but long story short, not workable in this situation. Thanks
anyway.

Invoke the following batch file with the Task Scheduler once
every five minutes:

@echo off
TaskList | find /i "SomeProg.exe" && goto :eof
c:\tools\blat /.. /.. /..

blat.exe is a command line mailer that you can download
from a number of sites.
