Error Popups Prevent My Server/application from Restarting
If your server or application fails to restart when a error popup displays then the following fix will solve the problem.
How to Restart a Session in service
Services in FireDaemon Pro can be restarted in session.
This means that you can see your service on your desktop without switching to session 0.
This can be useful if you have an application that you want to see running for test purposes.
Restarting an application every few second/minutes
Restarting an application every few seconds/minutes can be done with the scheduling tab and the user defined interval setting.
This is especially useful if you have an application that you want restarting every few seconds/minutes.

How to Configure Pre/Post-Service
The Pre-Service and Post-Service tab allows applications to be run during service startup and service shutdown. Pre-service and post-service programs are always run during service start-ups, controlled shutdowns, and intentional restarts.
- From the FireDaemon Pro manual.
How to configure Dependencies
Service Dependencies allow services to be started (and stopped) in order. They specify which services or load order groups must be running on the machine before this service can run. For example, if the service FDSvc depends on the pre-requisite service Pre, then Windows will always start Pre before FDSvc during a machine boot-up. Similarly, if both Pre and FDSvc are stopped, then manually starting FDSvc will firstly cause Pre to be automatically started. Similarly, stopping Pre manually will force FDSvc to stop. Interestingly, services dependencies are not used during machine shutdown.
- From the FireDaemon Pro manual.
How to bind a process to one or more CPU’s
CPU Bindings is a useful feature of FireDaemon. It allows you to bind a process to one or more CPU’s or Cores. This can be very useful when you have a very load intensive application and you dont want your whole computer to freeze up while its running.
Monitor Lighttpd: Restart when it uses excess system resources and alert me
Lighttpd was built for speed, but occasionally if your site gets very busy, it will use more and more system resources. When this happens, your website will load really slowly and your entire server computer will slow to a crawl.
Daemon can solve this by monitoring and restarting Lighttpd before it reaches these danger levels.
Monitor SRCDS: Restart when it uses excess system resources and alert me
SRCDS when left running for extended periods of time will use more and more system resources, this is especially true for very poorly coded mods or when you have lots of plugins loaded. When this happens, your SRCDS server will start to lag really bad and your entire server computer will slow to a crawl.
Daemon can solve this by monitoring and restarting SRCDS before it reaches these danger levels.
