Hi Hector:

You can use a flag file to know if your app is closed in proper or no proper way. In example, you can set a "1" in a flag file when your app starts and a "0" when it closes properly, so when starting if you find a "1" is becose did not close properly (you can elaborate on the flag value, but got the idea). The only thing you don't know, in case of abnormal termination, is the reason ,because can be originated by a user killing it with task manager or a power down or others.

About the restarting, you can have a "monitor" program (or service) that checks every XX seconds if the main program is in memory, and restart it if not.

Regards.-
