  All you need is a simple batch script to restart the server when the process dies:
  
  <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->@echo off
  title NS2 Server Monitor
  cd "c:\servers\pub1\"
  :NS2
  echo (%time%) Server started.
  start /wait server.exe -file c:\servers\pub1\server.xml -adminpath pub1/
  echo (%time%) WARNING: NS2 closed or crashed, restarting.
  goto NS2<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

  Thanks, kinda.... I've never had to create a batch file. How do I do this, and where does it go?

  To create a batch file first make a new text document and copy in the contents below (make sure to change all variables below to fit your server setup)
  
  <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->@echo off
  title NS2 Server Monitor
  cd "$ServerDirectory"
  :NS2
  echo (%time%) Server started.
  start /wait server.exe $CommandLineArg1 $CommandLineArg2
  echo (%time%) WARNING: NS2 closed or crashed, restarting.
  goto NS2<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
  
  Then simply save the file with the extension .bat and call it something like NS2server.bat.
  
  Place this file on your desktop for easy access as this will be how you start the server from now on.

  Thanks, I'll set this up later when I get on my PC.
