ServiceWatchdog, servicewatchdog.exe Version 1.0, May 2007 Software by Carsten Schmidt If you like this software, please consider donating.

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.
