Hi there.
I'm looking for a way to automatically restart Axy.
Currently I'm using a batch file like
@echo off
taskkill /F /IM Aximmetry.Composer.exe
TIMEOUT %1
start "" "D:\Program Files\Aximmetry DE UE5\bin\Aximmetry.Composer.exe" /quick "D:\Projects\myCurrentComp.xcomp"
Taskkill is brute force though, so I was wondering if there maybe is some sort of command
that kills Axy a bit more gracefully... :-)
Cheers & all the best.
Eric.
Hi Matt.
Quite brilliant and much more graceful than the taskkill method!
But is there a way to send a keypress (like Ctrl + NumPad 0) from within Axy?
Lua scripts can't send keystrokes out of the box but would probably need some FFI part in there.
It would be great if there was a tool in the Windows Section of compounds that would allow to send keystrokes.
Cheers & all the best.
Eric.
One way to get this working is to use an AutoHotkey Script, which sends Ctrl-Numpad0 and can be triggered from within Axy.
One more question though....
Since Ctrl-Numpad0 is a keystroke that might be pressed by chance during normal operation,
is there any way to assign a different keystroke to Watchdog? (Like 'Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Esc' e.g., which is much less likely to get triggered accidentally)?
Cheerio.
Eric.
Hi Eric,
You no longer need to make a bat file, the Restart module has been added to the latest version of Aximmetry (2023.1.0):
Added Restart Application module to allow restarting Aximmetry via any trigger with running the same or any other compound.

Hi Eric,
You can use the /watch command line switch to launch Aximmetry Composer, then make additional adjustments at Preferences / Watchdog.
Basically, Watchdog will automatically restart Aximmetry in case of a crash or frozen process. You can also manually control it with the following shortcuts (even if Aximmetry runs in the background):
