Hi Andrey,

thank you for your answer!

I feared it :(
What possibilities remain to me with a win7 system? The background for my
problem is a windows application that sometimes crashes silently (it is
still open but doesn't do what it should) and had to be restarted.
A big amount of Voodoo sounds interesting ;-) but perhabs I should simply
use windows scheduled tasks?
