4.0/5

knas Restarter is a small software application whose purpose is to help you monitor certain programs and restart them in case of failure, crashes or accidental shutdown. It can be used for keeping alive IRC, FTP, email servers or other important utilities that are installed on your system.

You are welcomed by a clean GUI that embeds all configuration settings into a single window.

The tool automatically detects and displays the running processes in the main window, along with information about the PID number, process file path, as well as parameters.

A log panel is integrated in the GUI for helping you check out details about all monitoring actions and possible errors. You may clear the information displayed in the main window, open the log file, and start or stop the monitoring process.

knas Restarter gives you the possibility to select the process that you want to keep an eye on. Plus, it is able to automatically grab the PID and file location of the selected utility.

You can make the application automatically perform checks at a user-defined time interval in seconds and log data to a custom file on your computer.

What’s more, you are allowed to tweak the restarting settings by specifying the startup parameters and working directory, setting focus on the restarted application window, as well as picking the preferred startup window (normal, minimized or maximized).

You can make the utility play sound notifications (WAV file format) and execute an external script, as well as kill the monitored process if it becomes unresponsive. You can also view when the next poll is executed via the progress bar.

Tests have shown that knas Restarter carries out a task quickly and without errors. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the system is not hampered.

Knas Restarter automates the process of monitoring and restarting crashed, hung or closed programs, and reveals notifications. The straightforward pack of features makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
