We have a server with a program called autoview on it. &nbsp;This is older and unsupported by the manufacturer as we've not upgraded to the latest version. &nbsp;It tends to max out the CPU about 1-3 times per day and we have to go in and manually restart the application.<br />
<br />
This guest OS is on a VMWare ESX system. (not sure if I can have that trigger a script)<br />
<br />
I would like to somehow have either ESX trigger a script to run or a script to determine if the CPU is at 90% or higher for more than 5 minutes that it would then remotely run the script that kills that application and restarts it.<br />
<br />
If ESX cannot do this then any script that runs local on the box would work as well.<br />
<br />
This is not a service, but an application.<br />
<br />
We start it with this script on the local machine:<br />
<br />
@start e:\jVue\bin\jVueServerX.ex<wbr />e -standalone %*

How to restart application on server via batch/script when CPU usage high

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
