Your restarting idea will work just fine using that basic concept. As for finding the problem, that's a little more difficult. You should review you logs just before it dies. Its likely doing something that is consuming all available threads. If you don't see anything obvious from the logs, you can install your own logging into suspect applications.
Be aware that why Witango is dying depends on quite a few factors. I can say that unless your server only has about 1 GB of physical memory installed, it's probably not related to the problem.

The service doesn't technically quit, but just hangs. I have to use pskill to kill it, then restart it. My server guy tells me that the Witango service is using about 1GB of memory when this happens. Here are my questions: 1) We would like to implement some kind of self-monitoring system that tries to hit a web page every 10 minutes (or so) through a cron. If it fails, then a .bat script is called that would run pskill and then restart the service. Obviously, I can't use Witango to do this. We also have PHP installed on this particular machine. Has anyone done anything like this? Is this the best approach? 2) I need to figure out why this is happening. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Is there a way I can determine which of my apps is causing this (if, indeed, it's a single app)? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
