>I have a little exe which needs to monitor a certain resource. To make sure it's always on, I run it via task scheduler (so far so good, that works), however just in case it may get stuck, I want to recycle it. So I've set the task scheduler to stop the existing instance if it's already running. That doesn't work.

Now I guess I should bindevent() to something, just don't know what. I've tried _screen's QueryUnload() - doesn't fire (not even when I click the closebox manually). Tried _screeen.hwnd with wm_close, wm_quit and wm_destroy, doesn't fire.

What about having a little launcher like this:

- Kills all instances of your exe
- Launches a new instance of said exe
- Finishes

Then you schedule this launcher instead of your exe (and this can be a .cmd script, does not need to be an exe, I have one exactly like this)
