Write a program, which will:

  • Wait for your application to terminate
  • Run it again.

Call this program, then exit your application. This solution is quite widely used.


Another option:

Call your application with specific parameter (eg. /restarted). The new instance should wait for the old one to terminate before performing any tasks. Then shut down the old instance.
