Need script to periodically stop then restart a process

[Arbie]

I use AutoIt so infrequently that I feel like a newbie every time.  It takes me hours to even get my bearings again.  So, I'm asking here once in case anyone has done this or can type out an outline in 2 minutes.  It is pretty simple in concept.  All my forum searches find stuff that's much more complicated, and I get a headache just trying to figure out what bits I could use.

I have a process / app called "NetMeter.exe".  It's window title is "Netmeter".  I need to kill it and restart it every 30 minutes or so, as a brute force fix for another issue.  I am now doing this manually but want to automate it.

Any quick help on this?  Thanks very much.

ProcessClose and Run?

AdlibRegister("MyFunc", 30*60*1000) ?

Well, thanks for answering and I guess those are commands I can try to use.  But the info is too cryptic to be of immediate help.  Looks like another learning session is in order. I'll figure it out.

Well... something like this then

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

AdlibRegister("MyFunc", 30*60*1000)   ; 30 mn

Func MyFunc()
  ProcessClose("NetMeter.exe")
  Sleep(1000)
  Run( .....\NetMeter.exe")  ; <<<<< full path here
EndFunc 

Func Terminate()
    Exit 
EndFunc

Here is one...as well.

;$appRun = ("NetMeter.exe")
$appRun = ("Notepad.exe")

While 1
ShellExecute($appRun)
Sleep(10000) ; for testing / change to 30 minutes
ProcessClose($appRun)
Sleep(3000)
WEnd

Thanks very much!  I actually wouldn't have figured out most of that.  I appreciate your time and expertise.
