`-------------------------------------------------
Not being a Windows user I believe they have something called
System Scheduler or Task Scheduler, something like that which
may be used for such purposes.
An easier solution would be to write a small Perl script which
is unlikely to crash, which simply sleep()s for 10 minutes, checks
for the app running and if not re-launches. Not exactly an elegant
solution, but it would work.
