Xlobby monitoring (systray application)

[lar282]

Hi
just created a dumb application that checks every 15(can be set in the xml file) seconds if xlobby is started.if not, it does a serie of functions.
1/ Kills application listed in the xml file
2/ restart services listed in the xml file
3/ Starts xlobby

I needed it since I only have a remote and when XL crashes without warning I need it started again. The application only lays in the tray and has a exit command on it.

just put it in the SAME directory as Xlobby2.exe and remove your usuall xlobby startup shortcut....
Don't forget to EDIT the sample Xlobby_Monitor.xml file

the application logs everything to a file in the..\log\XLMonitor.log

Pretty cool, especially since XL crashes with no apparent reason lately..

Howeber, I ALWAYS have remote control of my HTPC from my PPC 6600 PDA phone and can always restart XL.

Gonna try and find the window handle of a Xlobby crash so it senses that too.If anybody get a crash, please the the windows name and class of the crash.
