Requirements: Python 3.5, psutil package (use pip install psutil to install)
Instructions: Copy the below code into a new python script and save it to the same directory where your server executable is located

import psutil # DEPENDENCY: pip install psutil
import os
import time
from threading import Timer

PROCESS_NAME = "theforgottenserver.exe"
CHECK_INTERVAL = 3.0

def process_exists():
    for process in psutil.process_iter():
        if process.name() == PROCESS_NAME:
            return True
    return False

def check_server():
    if not process_exists():
        os.startfile(PROCESS_NAME)
        timestamp = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %H:%M:%S", time.localtime())
        print("{} | Notice: {} started (process not found)".format(timestamp, PROCESS_NAME))
    timer = Timer(CHECK_INTERVAL, check_server)
    timer.start()

We use to do this in DOS... No need to install anything.. Of course i don't use Windows anymore so i don't remember how it is done.

Bash

:start
theforgottenserver.exe
goto start

PowerShell

While($true) {
    theforgottenserver.exe
}
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to exit"

Is very powerful script, like python, where you can do almost everything.

But like the friends above said, such a script can be done using Bash and PowerShell in just 3-4 lines.

Anyways, big thanks! Awesome script.

Do you know Python in such advantage form? I understand: "def" is like "function" in php and lua, right?

Looks very promising. I like to learn new languages. I think python will be my next.

Cheers
