    So, I've figured out a way to deal with this.  I wrote a windows service that monitors the logmein service and it's power on status.  If either get turned off my service restarts them.  So far has been working very well and ended the random shutdowns that can happen.

Hi Jerry. Can you share more details of how you wrote this Windows service to monitor the LogMeIn application's power status? I've been encountering the same issue. I am able to tell whether the Hamachi service is running, but have been unable to determine whether it's powered on via Windows.

So there is a an ini file that hamachi uses, in the windows serviceprofiles area.

h2-engine.ini

In this file, there is a reconnect line

Reconnect 1  means powered on

Reconnect 0 means powered off

 

Basically the service I wrote polls that file every so often, if it finds the state powered off, it stops the service, changes that line, and then restarts the service.   It also checks to make sure the service is running and also starts it up if the service is stopped.  I also keep the hamachi in "do not self update" mode...

 

The other suggestion is good too.
