Server upgrade problems

I can show you what I do on our test server. Instead of using EQLaunch I have a file called Boot1Zone.bat - it looks like this:

@echo off
:restart

zone %1
choice /T 20 /D N /M "Do you really want to stop the server"
if errorlevel 2 goto restart

Then I have a file called BootZones01.bat which contains:

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

start boot1zone tutorial
timeout /T 15
start boot1zone .
start boot1zone .
timeout /T 5
start boot1zone .
start boot1zone .
timeout /T 5
exit
REM:---------------END------------------------

The first one will start a zone. I use this to start each zone window. If the zone crashes or shuts down, it asks "Do you really want to stop the server?" and lets me answer Y/N. It waits 20 seconds then restarts the zone. This assumes that I did NOT stop it, that it crashed, and it needs to be restarted.

The second file uses the first file and takes care of bulk starts. It starts a static zone, tutorial, waits 15 seconds, starts two dynamic zones, waits 5 seconds, then starts two more dynamic zones, waits 5 seconds, and ends. It should be noted that the waits are soft waits. You can hit any key to continue without waiting the full time.

I replaced the start of EQLaunch with BootZones01.bat.

I have multiple versions of the second file BootZones02.bat, BootZones03.bat... to start different numbers of zones, additional quantities of zones... you get the idea.

Anyway, hope this gives you some ideas.
