[geeks] Windows App to close dialog

Hi,

I have need of a Windows application that can close dialog boxes and take
scripted action - send an email or restart a service or application.

The specific problem is that I've inherited a service on a Windows server
that 'once in a while' throws a dialog box and exists - no error message
logged.

Which would not be a huge deal except that the application lives on a
server that no one looks at.

Five years ago I had the same situation, found a shareware application
that would take scripted action on dialog (click 'ok') and then restart a
service.  I only needed it for a few months while the application was
replaced.  Of course I can't _find_ it now and it's gone from our archive
of local application archive.

Any ideas?  Clues?  I can't make this application go away - we're stuck
with it for another year or three while the ERP systems it talks to are
done away with.

Brian
