Need an app which can restart an app :-)

[btrotter]

I have Teamviewer installed on a Mac in a remote location. For various reasons, Teamviewer oftentimes crashes, or people at the location will close it and forget to restart it.
I am trying to find an app that can always keep Teamviewer running. So when Teamviewer stops running, it will restart it, or the app can automatically restart it once a day.

Can anyone point me to such an app?

Thank you!

I haven't tested this and it came from an older version of Mac OS X, but this may help: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060927132601570

I actually ran across that before I posted this and tried it out. Either it didnt work, or I goofed something up with the .plist file, probably the latter. This was going to be the method I tried to figure out if no one else had another suggestion. Thank you for your quick reply.

I know that Teamviewer has an option to disallow shutting down without a password when installed on Windows, but I don't see that option on Mac. Of course, that doesn't help with crashes. However, if it's crashing frequently, I would investigate the cause of that, because that's not normal. I use TV daily and have found it to be extremely reliable.

I whipped this up on AppleScript editor Real quick, but it should do the job... let me know if it gives you some error and I'll fix it

With all due respect, I would be very cautious about downloading and running a script from someone I don't know, especially if they're brand new to this forum and apparently are just learning how to write scripts. It's great that you want to learn, but I prefer not to experiment with my Mac. Others may feel more adventurous or trusting, but no thanks.

Alright no problem.
