knas Restarter Portable

We all encountered issues with programs and games that crashed or hung most of the times, and restarted the computer and ran them again, which turned out to be a waste of time. knas Restarter Portable is an intuitive and straightforward application designed to monitor automatically and restart unresponsive utilities. It is a handy tool for unstable systems, such as IRC, FTP or mail servers.

It was developed at first to observe and restart game servers, but it comes in handy for any console or form-based programs. If a tool crashes or someone accidentally closes it, knas Restarter Portable reestablishes it with all the specified parameters.

Thanks to its portability it can be copied to external hard drives, run on Window-based computers, and since there is no installation required, it doesn't leave any registry traces. The tool is wrapped in a well-organized and accessible layout with all the provided options stacked in a single window. It might take a bit of time to learn what each function does, but after a while, it becomes easier to use.

When the app is run, it scans for every opened program and displays the PID (process ID) number, the complete path and parameters. The list can only be manually refreshed and sorted ascending or descending based on the location or PID. A few tutorial steps can be viewed at the bottom of the window.

Once you found the desired item, you have to set the refresh interval, along with the actions that should be taken when the tool encounters errors, such as enable restart, kill the process if unresponsive for a specific interval time.

knas Restarter Portable lets you choose a particular warning sound and execute external scripts. After everything is correctly set, you can start the monitoring process by pressing the "Start" button. A pause below 60 seconds is not recommended as it might slow down or crash the computer.

For each poll, the log file is updated displaying the set options, along with a short summary of how many polls have been run, and the number of restarts and unresponsive crashes. Plus, a shortcut can be created on the desktop for faster access, as well as run the tool at startup.

The bottom line is that knas Restarter Portable is a reliable and intuitive utility that comes in handy for those who encounter repeated program crashes, offering an efficient way of controlling and automatically restarting those troublesome software.
