Service Hawk
$179 - Wingenuity, Inc.

Don't risk losing money or valuable customers due to service failures! Keep your Windows Services running or restart them on a user-defined schedule. Service Hawk can periodically restart services on a user-defined schedule regardless of their state, ensuring that your services are running smoothly and stay operational. Often a service reports that it is "running" but is in a hung or frozen state. Scheduling an automatic restart is the solution! Tell Service Hawk which services you want to monitor and how frequently and the rest is done for you! Service Hawk will vigilantly monitor your services and if they happen to go down, Service Hawk will automatically restart them for you. If you choose, you will immediately be notified through either email, alertbox notification, or sound alert so you will be aware of the service failure. Service Hawk also logs the service failure to a log file for you to keep a running history. Features include: customization of the number of people that receive email notification of a service failure, customization of the contents of the email notification based on information pertaining to the service, control of services directly from within Service Hawk, control of the start-up type (automatic, manual, disabled), optional Kernel and System Driver services, addition of one or more file attachments to the email notification, and HTML, as well as, plain text email notifications. Essentially, Service Hawk is necessary software for any business that is serious about keeping customers and not losing money. Service Hawk is affordable and comes with top-notch technical support and a 30-day unconditional 100% money back guarantee.

What does it do and how does it work?
If you have problems with a service that does not start automatically after
a reboot because needed resources are not online yet, this software fixes
just this problem.
The name of this program is a little bit misleading but I could not come up
with something better. "Delayed service starter" would describe it better.

The ServiceWatchdog is started automatically after a reboot. After a predefined
time interval, this service tries to start a defined service. It will try to
start the service twice and then it gives up. No logs, event messages or other
information is written.


Installation
1. Install the service with the command "servicewatchdog /install"
Uninstall the service with the command "servicewatchdog /uninstall"

2. Start and stop the service in Computer Management. This creates the
needed registry keys.

3. Start regedit and select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareCCSchmidtServiceWatchdog"
Edit the 3 keys according to your needs:
Servicename = service name of the service to be started (e.g. Clipsrv for
clipbook)
Interval = time interval between start of ServiceWatchdog and start of the
selected service in ms. Default is 300000 (5 minutes).
Active = run ServiceWatchdog or not. Possible values are "yes" and "no".
Default is "yes". (no surprises here).

Check that startup type of ServiceWatchdog is automatic.
