Why would your background worker be "dead"?...what are you doing in it?

<div>
Do you have the code that runs at scheduled time? If you have that all you need is to check IsBusy flag on the bg worker.<br />
<br />
If you need to restart the worker under specific conditions (e.g. stopped prematurely or threw exception), then you will need a lot more work.
