you may use several processes to watchout eachother. One starts another seconds starts first etc if one die another starts it

I use Process.Kill() to shut down processes for updating, but thats about it

What if the application dead locks and NEEDS to be shut down? How would that happen? I'm sure a full system restart wouldn't be a very well received option. I dont think theres really any way to catch that and prevent it, Windows needs to have access to the process in order to shut it down just in case it goes into a bad state or locks up, or worse, starts writing a file or something thats hogging all of your memory and you cant shut it down manually.

Its generally a good idea to leave that back door open if you can :)
