There are free components for Delphi that can handle the chore. I use one and don't even know how it works ///:-).

In practice I would like to be sure that, if a my application A1 faults and is closed, it is automatically restarted. I thought to use a secondary very simple deamon application A2 which checks if A1 is in execution and, if not, launches it by ShelExecute. Moreover A1 does the same with A2. Really I would like to use a S.O. resource to make A1 and A2 periodically "speaking" each other. So, if A1 is running, but hanging, A2 can choose to Terminate it and restart it. I believe there is some simplier way to obtain my goal, but I am not expert about windows API. Some help?
