A utility that has really been helping me out with Burst and could find other uses? Restart on Crash. https://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/03/04/restart-on-crash/
It monitors active exes and when it stops, for whatever reason, it restarts it! Super easy, super light and it just works. Been using it for 3 or 4 weeks now, no issues.
