Hello BHW,
Anyone knows a program that restarts an application after every specific time even if the application is not crashed

I want to restart some apps after every 30 minutes

Windows task scheduler?

You can automate that by just making a simple .bat

task sheduler will try to start the app which is in running state we need to make it restart so it wont work i guess please correct me if i am wrong

switch your application name in place of excel

kill_and_restart.bat

taskkill /IM "excel.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\excel.exe"

Can get much more complex if you want... but if you just want crazy simple, set that bat file to run on your time interval via scheduled tasks.

Just like my idea.

I am too lazy to check it right now but if memory serves you can make it boot your computer, perform the task till a specified time and repeat the task untill you reach your marker by intervals you can set by the minute. That way you can have the same song playing 3 times simultaneously with a 1 minute interval from just one task. If you like ballades, like I do. You can make it check if the task is still running though.
I used XP for an alarmclock a few years back, thats how I remember. I had a HELL of a time stopping it in the morning. lol

This is for windows 7 and it doesn't mention a snooze button but it is in the options.

I just checked my own Vista system too and it is more than possible to start a task, if it is running put another one in que, or have multiple instances of a task...

Windows, sometimes it actually does deliver.


Edit: Or you use a .bat file. lol
