I made a C# application that backups some files and sends it to FTP or Dropbox. This application works in servers. But sometimes my application crashes or closes somehow. It must stay open all the time. I thought I can make a Windows Service to check my app status. If my app shuts down opens it again. I created the service. I used the Process.Start() method to open my app again. But it didn't work. I changed the code to open an a batch file that opens my app. It didn't work too. Then I searched this situation. I learned Windows services can't open an app from desktop. I didn't find a solution for this.
Is there any solutions for this or is there any different method from Windows service that I can use for open my app again?
Sorry for my bad English. Thanks.
A quick solution will be is to create one exe(Monitor.exe) just to monitor if your app process is running. If not launch your application.
The single responsibility of Monitor.exe is to ensure your main app is up and running
