Thanks Steven, we'll check this out. Your experience matches ours; it appears that the .bat stops when CF does, so the restart doesn't happen when done that straightforward way.
Brook, are you sure this actually restarts CF? I just tried your .bat code verbatim here, and CF stops, but doesn't restart.
