Re: Server restart and status check/restart script???

you should set 2 scedules for the script above: starting your server when your computer starts up (or when you log on) and periodical schedule (in first case killing the task is not required because it's not running yet, but that's not a problem, taskkill just will write you a message like 'the process xxxxx.exe not found').
to do that, use at.exe command line program (shipped with windows since winxp) or control panel applet 'Scheduled tasks' (Control Panel->Scheduled tasks->Add scheduled task). so, you set first task to start when your system comes up, the second task - to run periodically (for example, every 2 days at 5:00 your local time). and don't forget to uncheck 'Stop the task if it's running for 72 hours' checkbox (just in case you want to increase period).
as for periodically checking if the server is running, dunno if windows' built-in programs give you such opportunity. you probably should use some monitoring software. google it Happy
