So I’ve got this batch file to keep my mp3 daemon running on the crazyskills radio server. (It’s not the most stable of programs…) Here is the content of that file:

@echo off

title crazyskills mp3d watchdog

echo *********************************************

echo ** crazyskills mp3d watchdog **

echo *********************************************

echo ** STARTING SERVER - (%time%) : (%date%)

:begin

start /wait /abovenormal c:\gnump3d\bin\gnump3d.bat

echo ** RESTARTING SERVER - (%time%) : (%date%)

goto begin

Now my understanding of this nifty little batch file I wrote is that once the process is terminated, it should fire it right back up. But instead, once the file terminates, it leaves me at a command prompt inside my new window. What am I missing?

I wrote a similar program for the Counter Strike server which did exactly what I wanted it to. Is the problem that I am calling another batch file? Would it solve the problem to paste (and edit paths, etc.) the contents of the called batch file into my watchdog?  Or do I need to add a line to kill the window after the ’start’ line?

TIA
