Save the extension in .bat
example: Restart.bat

You could save with extension .cmd like Restart.cmd too, which is actually correct for NT (not 9x) based Windows versions. (or OS/2... BATch files are a DOS legacy, and this would work for anything from OS/2 v2 or NT4 but not DOS. It *will* work in >=Win98 too.)

If you add

echo %date% %time% Server restarted >> Restart.log

between the start and the goto, you will get a file log too. Your OS must be Windows 2000 or newer though.

--- EDIT ---
Oh yea... if the console Window is too annoying, or too easy to close, you can use hstart (free, so long as you don't package it with anything else)

Create a shortcut to your script, and change it's Target property to "C:/path/to/hStart.exe /NOCONSOLE" "C:/path/to/Restart.bat" modifying the full paths and shell script name as appropriate.

thanks for sharing but can find other solutions easily

[bobsobol]

It's not really a matter of finding other solutions. The nice thing about this is that Trough gives complete and well documented source code... this can show how to attempt other methods of your own, where a binary executable is just "do it our way or find something else" you can't adapt it.
