English ⯆How to restart FTPGetter launcher service using Windows Task Manager
If you use FTPGetter as a Windows service, the FTPGetter Laucher service sometimes freezes and stops executing profile tasks. You have to restart the service for FTPGetter to start working again. To avoid missing the service freeze and manually restarting it, we wrote a PowerShell script. This script should be executed as a Windows Task Scheduler task.
What does the script do?
It checks whether the service responds to control commands. If not, the script closes the FTPGetter GUI, terminates and restarts the FTPGetter Laucher service, and notifies the user that the service has been restarted.
Here is the link to download the script from our website RestartFTPGetterLaucher._ps1. After downloading, change the file extension to .ps1

Leave the rest of the settings default and slect OK again to create the task. You will be prompted to enter user credentials with administrative rights if "Run with highest privileges" was selected. Use _your_ Windows User user credentials. Now click on Task Scheduler Library folder in the left column, verify the schedule has been created and is listed.
