<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve got an application that I’ve written, and it
sits in an embedded system, from time to time the application will crash, I’m
not quite sure what’s causing this, but as we test it more and more we’ll
grasp a better understanding and fix the issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, until then I need a quick solution which can spot
the crash and reboot the system. Is there any generic way of writing a separate
application that’ll spot the crash in my main application? If not then i
was thinking about having my core application log itself as ‘alive’
every 5 minutes or so. My new ‘spotter’ application can check this
log, if it’s not been written too in say 6 minutes then the main app must
have crashed, and it can reboot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions on how best to handle this? Obviously
finding the bug in my main app is paramount, but a failsafe will never hurt.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks again guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
