Code:
; recover_explorer.ahk (v1.0 | 17-July-2008 | p=208256)
; Script by Raccoon 17-July-2008
; Restarts the Explorer shell if it crashes.
#SingleInstance, force ; force|ignore|off|(blank)
#NoTrayIcon ; hide trayicon
Loop
{
Process, WaitClose, explorer.exe ; Wait for all instances of explorer.exe to close/crash.
ToolTip, Explorer Crashed.`nRestarting in 3 seconds... ; Display a message to the user.
Process, Wait, explorer.exe, 3 ; Wait 3 more seconds just in case something else restarts it.
ToolTip ; Hide message.
IfEqual, ErrorLevel, 0, Run, explorer.exe ; Re-launch explorer.exe. RunWait may be useful, but redundant.
}
This code can be used to restart any process that is terminated or has crashed. This example can only monitor a single process. To monitor multiple processes, you'll have to loop through a list of "Process, Exist, xyzzy.exe" and check the value of ErrorLevel after each.
