If you start the Composer with the /watch command line switch a separate Watchdog application also starts. It monitors the activity of the Composer, and if it ceases to work (crashes, freezes)  Watchdog removes it from memory and starts a new Composer and also reloads the last scene.

Thus if anything happens your scene will be up and running within a few seconds (depending on the loading time of the scene).

In Preferences / Watchdog you can setup the time thresholds, and also you can specify an SMTP account through which Watchdog sends emails about the crashes.

Hi Guys.

When putting the mail credentials into the prefs/watchdog, is there any chance in Axy to send a test mail?
Just to make sure everything works as expected?

Cheers & all the best.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

We added it to our request list.

Until that, you can test the mail address by crashing Aximmetry with the Crash Tester module:

Warmest regards,
