FireDaemon Pro has a powerful scheduling engine that can be used to restart FireDaemon Pro and Windows services.


It is pretty easy to setup. First off, work out what FireDaemon Pro or Windows Services you need to restart and record the Service Short Name (e.g. "FireDaemon Fusion" or "BITS").


Then create a FireDaemon Pro Self Completing Task (a.k.a. Scheduled Task) service to run the FireDaemonCLI to restart the services. Open the FireDaemon Pro GUI and create a new Service Definition, paying special attention to the Program, Working Directory, Parameters, and Type fields:

Then setup a Schedule by clicking on the Scheduling tab. Multiple schedules can be configured per Scheduled Task.

You can then view the schedule via the Preview tab.

That's it! Save the service and monitor the restart via the Event Log Monitor pane (select service then press Ctrl+Alt+E).
