This application will monitor the list of applications you specify to make sure they remain running. If one of the applications in the list is shut down, Keeprunn will launch it again. Whenever you modify a field, that field turns yellow indicating a change. When you hit the tab key or the enter key you will advance to the next field and the changes will have been saved. If you select the application to run invisible, you will have to modify the keeprunn.ini file to make it visible again. By putting a shortcut to this application in the startup group, your applications will all launch automatically and be restarted if they are shutdown.
