You need to specify the time you think it will take to run this program in
program properties. Currenlty you have specifed 15 minutes. By default, it
is set to 'Unknown' which mapps to 12 hours.
Since program is taking longer than specified by the admin, SMS considers
this as failure and therefore, is not rebooting the machine.
