Automatic restart of non responding program via CMD

You can use a batch script to automatically restart a non-responding program using the taskkill and start commands. Here's an example batch script that you can use to achieve this:

batchCopy code
@echo off



:restart

tasklist | find "program.exe" > nul

if errorlevel 1 (

    echo Program is not running. Starting...

    start "" "C:\path\to\program.exe"

) else (

    echo Program is running. Killing...

    taskkill /f /im program.exe

    timeout /t 5 > nul

    goto restart

)



echo Done.

Replace "program.exe" with the actual name of the program you want to monitor and restart. Also, replace "C:\path\to\program.exe" with the full path to the program executable.

Here's what the script does:

1. It checks if the program is currently running using the tasklist command and filters the output with find.
2. If the program is not running (errorlevel is 1), it starts the program using the start command.
3. If the program is running, it forcefully terminates it using the taskkill command with the /f flag.
4. After terminating, it waits for 5 seconds using the timeout command to give the program some time to clean up.
5. The script then loops back to the :restart label to continue monitoring and restarting the program.

Save the script with a .bat extension and run it when needed. Keep in mind that forcefully terminating a program might lead to data loss or unexpected behavior, so use this approach with caution.
