If you wish to restart a specific service other than the default one, simply pass its name as a command-line parameter when launching the program. For example, entering "ServiceWatchdog POP3S" will target the IMS POP3 Server service for monitoring.
To adjust the monitoring interval, add an additional command-line parameter with the service name. For instance, "ServiceWatchdog POP3S 30" will check the IMS POP3 Server service every 30 minutes.
Remember to include the service name when altering the monitoring interval. Note: Proper naming is crucial for successful operation.
