Do you want certain background program or application like Firefox or Chrome browser in Windows to run repeatedly forever even though when it stops working, you can rely on ProcessAlive freeware portable tool that runs selected processes when it detects they have stopped.
Using ProcessAlive
Launch the program, click “+” button and add the program you want to keep alive. You can add any number of programs. Current version allows to add executable files only.
After adding the programs, click on “Keep these Programs alive” and the program will be minimized to the system tray and continuously monitors for programs you’ve added, if it notices any one of selected processes not running it will re-launch that program.
From ProcessAlive tray icon you can access program interface, stop monitoring of programs and exit the application.
ProcessAlive lacks proving option to auto-start with Windows, so any number of programs you’ve added will not be monitored on next launch of program you again manually need to add them, hope developer takes note of this.
ProcessAlive works on Windows XP/Vista/7.

Thank you for this review.

In the first part of this statement do you mean to say that the software has no option to start when Windows starts? If so, that is an easy workaround.
The second part of the quoted statement seems to indicate that this software does not have the ability to save the list of programs to be monitored that the user creates, (by creating an .ini file, registry entries, etc.). If that is the case that’s a definite dealbreaker.
As the post for the tool clearly states; it’s a “work in progress”
Saving of selected programs to an .ini and starting with Windows will certainly arrive in the next version.
Thanks for the confirmation, we just wants the users to know what the program lacks to offer for users currently, glad to know that it will be added in next version.
I do not see “work in progress” clearly stated anywhere in the post for this program. Only that a couple of useful functions are missing thanks to the review by Venkat.
Concluding from your certainty that these functions will be added in the next version that you are the developer I would like to say thank you for your continued work on this program.
I’ll definitely use this once the next version arrives.
