So process lasso have this feature and what are configuration to do? i would like to have this info before buy this software.

I don't know what is the meaning of "blocked process", but I know where is the function.

As you are using the trial version, you can try it now.

Hi BenYeeHua, thank you very much for your reply.

I can configure process lasso to restart a process if it is stop for a certain period of time? Because for "blocked process" (in my specific case) i mean a process that is stop and don't start another instance, if it is opened.

PS: sorry for my english, is not very good

It's difficult (at least to my knowledge) to test if a process is "blocked" without looking into its code. I mean, if you can't see that a process has a status of "suspended" then you can't definitely say it's blocked, because you don't know what it is executing. I suppose you mean that a particular process is persisting in memory and doesn't allow more of its instances to be run - correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know of such a feature in Process Lasso, but you can post your request in the BugTrack forum section, where you can report feature requests, too.

I know that process is "blocked" beacause code of this application is mine  , so if is stop i know that is blocked not for a bug but probably for windows.

For this reason i can't solve my problem modifying my application but only closing her and restart, for this i think to use process lasso.

Correct me if isn't possible.

First, please explain what does "blocked" mean for you. If the process you're referring to is eating too much CPU/RAM at some point for X period of time, then make use of what BenYeeHua recommended you.

Really the process stop for infinite time if you don't close it, but not use a lot of memory/cpu the only index to know that process is blocked is time.

I think is no, as how can other software know that software is stop?
Maybe it just don't has a work to do.

Only system can know it is stop and showing a "Not Responding" for that process.
If you means this, I think it might be support in the future version.

It might be good to say what kind of app are we talking about, just so we can better understand what your trying to do .
Is it a user app or some kind of background app w/0 user input , like scanner or something .

Every program should be finite and return something, whatever it is. If it runs into an infinite loop then you must find a way for it to escape from that loop.

The problem is that in my code I manage all exception, so I do not think that is my application that crash, I think that block is caused by windows.

As Ed wrote, could you tell us something more about your application?

If you think it is cause by windows, find Microsoft and they will find which is the cause.
