Restart the service when an exception is thrown

Question

I am writing a Windows service that should work 24 hours a day. This is a fairly simple service that keeps track of the directory into which files are deleted and processes these files. I need to restart the service if an unhandled exception is thrown.

Is there a way to restart the service in case of an unhandled exception?

It can take different actions during the first, second and subsequent failures:

• Restart the service after a custom delay
• Run the program (pass command line options, possibly including the number of crashes)
