Restart a script

[skyhigh]

I am working on a script.
This script operates on a program.
What happens if the program crashes? The script stops.
For this reason I have to work a secondary script out whose task is to check if the program runs.

The problem is, I need to add also a comand in the secondary script that restarts the primary script. How can I do it?

Thanks in advance

Show your 2 scripts so we get able to help you.

While Loop + If ProcessExists()

Are your scripts compiled or being run as .au3?

The scripts run as .au3.

I have already put a ProcessExists() at each Case, but it does not always work. I need to always check if firefox.exe exists

Here an example of  the main script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ff.au3>

_FFStart()

While @Hour < 16

Global $aURLS[6]
$aURLS[1] = "www.youtube.com" ; list of youtube, vimeo, etc videos
$aURLS[2] = "www.yahoo.com"
$aURLS[3] = "www.vimeo.com"
$aURLS[4] = "www.dailymotion.com"
$aURLS[5] = "www.twitch.tv"

$x = Random(1, 5, 1)

_FFTabAdd($aURLS[$x], True, True)
WinWaitActive("Tab",0,10)

Sleep(5 * 1000) 

_FFTabClose("0", "index")
Sleep(5000)

  Select
    Case $x = 1
        If Not ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then _FFStart("www.youtube.com")

    Sleep(15 * 1000) 
   
   Case $x = 2
        If Not ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then _FFStart("www.yahoo.com")

    Sleep(15 * 1000) 
   

EndSelect

I'll now try to explain myself a little better:

- The script is able to run thanks to ff.au3 UDFs

- The script must be as indipendent as possible

That is the reason why it is necessary to write on secondary scripts that are able to react if something happens, whenever it happens.

If Firefox crashes I get the following lines in the log:

__FFWaitForRepl ==> MozRepl Exception: !!! [Exception... "Failure"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"

_FFCmd ==> Error return value
.__FFSend ==> Error TCPSend / TCPRecv: TCPSend: try{FFau3.tmp=window.getBrowser().webProgress;FFau3.tmp.isLoadingDocument && FFau3.tmp.busyFlags ? false: true;}catch(e){'_FFCmd_Err';};

Even if Firefox restarts the error continues.

I thought I could solve using some _FFCmd input. Since I created a thread and nobody could help me, a better idea was born:

to write a secondary script to check if the firefox crash report appears, then restart not FF but the script itself

And here I am

This can't be your complete mainscript and the restartscript is totaly obselet. I think you are downloading videos from the URL's, so more RAM could be usefull.

The script is mean to stream videos from different sites, I do not need to download them. 

The main script's structure is the one I posted, I only forgot the _FFQuit at the end.

And where is the restart script?
