What is the best way to stop/start Fiddler as a daily task?
I am usin Fiddler to monitor/logs https trafficon machine which runs fully automated and runs software which is not controlled by me, but uses https.
My machine stopped yesterday because Fiddler went out of memory after running over 3 days and now I want to have a clean way to start/stop it.
I guess I could just specify a process duration in the task manager, but I would prefer something cleaner, especially to avoid issues when things are started manually.
