Service Hawk Listing updated: September 5, 2007

Service Hawk can periodically restart services on a user-defined schedule regardless of their state, ensuring that your services are running smoothly and stay operational. Often a service reports that it is "running" but is in a hung or frozen state. Scheduling an automatic restart is the solution! Tell Service Hawk which services you want to monitor and how frequently and the rest is done for you! Service Hawk will monitor your services and if they happen to go down, Service Hawk will automatically restart them for you. If you choose, you will immediately be notified through either email, alertbox notification, or sound alert so you will be aware of the service failure. Service Hawk also logs the service failure to a log file for you to keep a running history.
