The Service Protector is a simple, yet very efficient software that will automatically restart your services in case of crash.
You can even plug in your own custom failure-detection script/program to identify "zombie services", which seem to be running but are not doing what they are supposed to do.
Or automatically restart your service every night when no one is logged on, to cure memory leaks and other imperfections.
Email from Service Protector will let you know when it detects (and automatically resolves) problem with your services.
You will read the emails with a smile, knowing that your system experienced near-zero downtime without you having to babysit the software.
