HOWTO: Start Watchdog - O - Matic as a service.

First of all, open the Watchdog - O - Matic application and disable the "Launch Watchdog - O - Matic at startup" option in the Options menu. We don't want the watchdog to start automatically. Close the Watchdog - O - Matic application (File -> Exit Watchdog - O - Matic).



Open Service - O - Matic. Create a new service "Watchdog", and point to the watchdog.exe (which is default in c:\program files\kwakkelflap\watchdog\watchdog.exe).



You can add a dependency for "Lanmanworkstation" if you want to make sure most other services are started before the watchdog starts.



All other options should be fine. Select "OK" in Service - O - Matic and Watchdog - O - Matic should start as a service right away.



Hint: you can run Watchdog - O - Matic professional as a service, and watch your applications automatically. You can buy both Watchdog - O - Matic professional and Service - O - Matic and save money.
