Keep application running, auto restart on crash

keep_running.scpt

on appIsRunning(appName)
	tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName
end appIsRunning

on makeActive(appName)
	tell application appName
		activate
	end tell
end makeActive

repeat
	if appIsRunning("emptyExampleDebug") then
	else
		do shell script "open -a /Users/diederick/Documents/programming/c++/of/app/projects/peepee/game/bin/appdebug.app/Contents/MacOS/appDebug"
	end if
	makeActive("appDebug")
	delay 25
end repeat

The windows version:

:begin
start /WAIT emptyExample.exe
timeout /T 10
Goto begin

add this into the registry to avoid crash messagebox

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting]

"ForceQueue"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\Consent]

"DefaultConsent"=dword:00000001

Thanks Kris! Nice to keep track of these here :>

For people (like myself) who are more confident with bash script

!/bin/bash

while true
do

using open to get focus

open -a empltyExample
sleep 10
done

Change the default program for scripts to terminal if you want to use it with autostart

Or you could use Lingon on Mac OS X. It basically puts an xml file with the right settings in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
