      Is setting a scheduled task to run say every five minutes to frequent for a service that is needed but was written so poorly that it fails to recover from failing?

      This service is a Point of Sale handler and fails quite often.

        @gjacobse No, sounds fair to me. I have many tasks like that for Opera Systems interfaces and other poorly designed applications. Even door systems for hotels we have had to come up with that too.

          I agree that such a scheduled task seems reasonable to help a poor application limp along.

            Hehehe... In the old days we used to write TSRs to monitor apps and restart them!

              I do the same thing for QuickBooks Database Manager that runs on a domain controller. Intuit made the decision to use ports that overlap the DNS Server ports and cause QBDBMgr to stop running. My powershell script checks the status of the QuickBooks services and if they are stopped restarts DNS Server and the QB services. Ugly but it works.
