Hello all,

I tried searching through the forums to see if this was posted already, but I couldn't find anything on it. I am recently hosting a server and wanted to know if there is anyway to relaunch my server without my input. For example if it happens to crash and I'm sleeping, I wouldn't be able to launch it again until I wake. I have tried autolaunching programs such as Restarted and CRP. They work well, however they only launch executable files. Which means it just starts plain Doom II, instead of the batch file I have made for my server. I can't seem to find anything on the internet about relaunching batch files after crashing. And CRP, Restarted, etc. don't launch batch files, only executables. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help guys.

Have your batch file relaunch itself. The start /WAIT command will wait to do the next command until the program being started has closef.

If you're using linux to host your server you can always look into systemd to manage your server as a service.

An example of a service to automatically restart your server after a crash is as follows.
This is an example of how we run our Nuclear Empire Death Foretold Server.

Here is the arch wiki entry on systemd I don't know if you are using linux or not but regardless of what distro you may or may not be using this is still relevant.
