Restart the AVEVA Real-Time System service

You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to configure the AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS) service (the RtsServer process) to restart periodically. The user account that will run the scheduled task must be able to start and stop the services. To Start, Stop, and Pause a service, users need the Read and the Stop, Start, and Pause permissions.
