Answer 1

How about writing a simple bat program to kill your app and start it again? Look for "Taskkill" command for console. If I have to kill notepad, I will use "taskkill /f /im notepad.exe"

You can make it to require a keypress to perform iterations and induce delay before killing of app.

Just for fun, if you really wanted to do something, try a simple C# app that does the following:

for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
{
  Process proc = Process.Start("ExecutablePath");  
  Thread.Sleep(1000);
  proc.Kill();
}

如果要模拟用户行为，则应尝试使用AutoIT或AHK或SIKULI

Answer 4

You can try this

Timer timer;

public void StartTimer()
{
    timer = new Timer();
    timer.Interval = 5000; // 5 seconds
    timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
    timer.Start();
}

void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Process[] p = Process.GetProcessesByName("TheApp");
    if (p.Length == 0) {
        // Restart the app if it is not running any more
        Process.Start(@"C:\Programs\Application\TheApp.exe");
    } else {
        p[0].CloseMainWindow();
    }
}

Use a Timer to call a method at certain intervalls. When the Timer ticks, look if a process with the given name exists. If it exists close its main window (do not just kill it). If it does not exist, start it.
