Help On Realm Restarter

[wickedarsenal]

So Ive been coding this thing for a while. And now its working and such except when a realm goes down it doesnt restart. I know the problem which is that it looks for the process name of the world.exe to restart it and since its a multi realm the exe is all the same name so it detects the working one. How can I fix this. Code below

Button Code (Exe Start)

      Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        worldtime1.Enabled = True
        If (File.Exists(TextBox2.Text)) Then
            Process.Start(TextBox2.Text)
            PictureBox2.BackColor = Color.Lime
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("ERROR: File settings not found")
            PictureBox2.BackColor = Color.Yellow
        End If
    End Sub:confused::wave:

Timer Code (Process Restarter)

      'Start Of Worldtime Timers Code'
    Private Sub worldtime1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles worldtime1.Tick
        If True Then
            If Process.GetProcessesByName("ascent-world").Length = 0 Then
                Process.Start(Me.TextBox2.Text)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

I don't think it would be a waste of time. Its a learning experience. Anyone have an idea?

This . Try to find another way.

Any hints on how to start a process, or restart one for that matter, without using timers?

"If True Then"
And then I said "NO **** YOU" and closed it

Also, the use of a timer and that method is rather.. primitive. Not to mention resource intensive. You'd be better off gathering a "pool" of world processes, get the location of their executable and restart them when they exit/crash.

Ah, well I'm not surprised its primitive since I am pretty new to coding in general. How would I be able to detect if the process that I started crashed and not get it mixed up with the others?
