I am not sure if this is working for the WholeHog III, but it is for the iPC.
You should be able to do so, Presseing Pig & Open & Backspace will show the taskmanager, where You see the status of the processes. Right click on the process can be used to restart processes. I've used it several times, where the Desktop hangs, but the rest of the desk is working, so I was able to restart the Desktop without having a problem running the show.
I think Magnus is asking for a mechanism to automatically restart failed processes without user intervention.
I'll need to chat with the developers, but I would imagine that the issue is with making the determination that a process is actually not responding and not just busy. I'll look into this a bit and see what I can learn.
I spoke with our lead developer and there are a few issues with automatically restarting processes.
First, as I assumed, the most difficult piece of the puzzle is actually making that a process has stopped responding and isn't just working. This would be very important and potentially difficult because false positives could cause us lots of problems.
Second, we would still need to add an interface component to prompt users before restarting processes and this could be difficult, depending on which process has stopped.
Third, in our current situation it would be a better use of our resources to work on improving stability and reducing failure than to work on better handling of our failure cases.
Hi there I can restart the desktop or other processes, but the most important process, the editor i can't restart, only kill... If a have some problem with my hog3, the editor crash and i have to log of the show. I would like to have the chance to restart the editor. Cheers Hg
The editor process will start automatically if it isn't running already when you open an editor window. If the editor process has died, after you kill it just press the programmer button on the main toolbar. It will take a few seconds, but the editor process should restart on its own.
This will actually be going away soon, as we're currently working to merge the editor process functionality into the desktop process and remove the editor process.
