                Service_Watchdog sysutils 1.8.3 Monitors for stopped services and restarts them.

                  So now I find it. I have chosen watch dog service vpn, how does it work? Will it reboot immediately when VPN is down? Will it make several attempts to reboot?

                    it wont reboot the machine, it will just restart the service if it goes down.

                      ok.  Say that vpn host is down for 15 minutes, and my client can not connect, will watch dog try start over until my vpn client can connect? or just one try ?
