The name of this program is a little bit misleading but I could not come up with something better. "Delayed service starter" would describe it better.The ServiceWatchdog is started automatically after a reboot. After a predefined time interval, this service tries to start a defined service. It will try to start the service twice and then it gives up. No logs, event messages or otherinformation is written.Installation1. Install the service with the command "servicewatchdog /install" Uninstall the service with the command "servicewatchdog /uninstall"2. Start and stop the service in Computer Management. This creates the needed registry keys.3. Start regedit and select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CCSchmidt\ServiceWatchdog\" Edit the 3 keys according to your needs: Servicename = service name of the service to be started (e.g. Clipsrv for clipbook) Interval = time interval between start of ServiceWatchdog and start of the selected service in ms. Default is 300000 (5 minutes). Active = run ServiceWatchdog or not. Possible values are "yes" and "no". Default is "yes". (no surprises here). Check that startup type of ServiceWatchdog is automatic.Version historyVersion 1.0, May 2007First release
