Windows-Process-Monitoring-Service

 

Introduction

·        A very useful program to monitor the CPU usage/RAM usage/Running Status of a Windows process

·        Kill and restart process when predefined thresholds are reached.

·        XML easy one-step config

This program can be run as a Windows background service/daemon, to monitor a specific process in the Task Manager. When the target process uses high CPU/RAM, or accidently exits (due to exceptions), the process monitor will kill or restart the target process to ensure it is always running, which is especially useful to monitor the long-term running process for months or years.
