Starting and stopping the application

If you stop Kaspersky Endpoint Security, all running tasks will be interrupted. After restarting Kaspersky Endpoint Security, the interrupted custom tasks will not be automatically resumed. Only those custom tasks whose schedule settings is set to PS, will be restarted.

Application state monitoring

The application state is monitored by the watchdog service. The watchdog service is automatically started on the application start.
