MaNGOS Restarter
Status: Version 1.0
Download (b06)

MaNGOS, a WoW emulator, is plenty unstable. Oftentimes it will break but not realize that it has. For that purpose I created a simple MaNGOS Restarter that will restart MaNGOS on the hour if there are no users connected, and have been no users connected for 30 minutes.

Features

Connects via MySQL to your WoW database to see how many users are online.
Restarts a MaNGOS server that doesn't even know it needs to be restarted.
Alleviates some of the need to have someone constantly check the host computer.

Usage
This program is pretty simple to use. Open it up, and it will ask you where mangos.exe is. Once you've selected it, the program will start MaNGOS for you. Note that this is necessary, you can't start mangos.exe yourself, or my program won't be able to find and quit the mangos.exe process before starting up another. The program also works on Mac - just select mangos.sh instead.

Future
It's done.
