We've set up some rules that trigger services to restart if they hit a
certain number of pages. It's an alright workaround for long running
programs with memory leaks. We use XYNTservice.exe,
http://www.linux.com/articles/46491, to wrap some standard programs as
services. All this is done under win2k3.

If anyone knows of a ulimit type program for windows I'd be interested.
