Does any one know of an application that will automaticaly restart a program that has crashed? EG: my Mail app crashes every so often and i want it to automaticaly restart after a crash.

So an app that watches for programs that are NOT running and then starts them....

Applescript can handle this kind of thing. Here- I'm feeling helpful today:

Code:
tell application "System Events" to if (exists process "Mail") is false then
	tell application "Mail"
		activate
	end tell
end if

Save this as a Script. Run the script every 5 minutes- either by manually editing crontab, or using an editor like Cronnix.

Yer' welcome.

But ya know, it's not common for mail to crash.... you should really be looking into solving the problem of why that's happening. Start with rebuliding the databases.

Its actully Entourage that is crashing when it gets mail off the server.

[C.J. Moof]

Ah. Guess you'll want to swap in Entourage for Mail in that case.

I would but its a Work computer.. so im stuck with what they want us to use.

[C.J. Moof]

No- I meant to reference Entourage instead of Mail in the script.

Oh eyh i got yah.

Well it works great. But when it crashes, it quicker for me to just click on the icon to restart it.. oh well thanks for your help!
