The Watchdog script will start a specific application, and upon the application's termination, it will force ThinManager to re-establish the connection. This script is primarily designed for applications that will randomly quit but have spawned other processes that are running in the background and preventing the session from restarting. A common example is that view.exe will spawn hd.exe and alarmgr.exe and have them running in the background. If view.exe dies, hd.exe and alarmgr will still be running and Thin Manager cannot restart a terminal session that has running processes.
Usage
- Create a .bat file that contains the following code:
start "" /wait "Path\to\Program\executable.exe" shutdown /f /l
- Setup ThinManager to launch the .bat file instead of the regular executable.
- Restart thin client (if thin client is currently running)
