Can someone point me to a true guide for this? I've googled and found several different threads with several different opinions, and most often with people having similar issues to me stating "Thanks i fixed it" without ever stating how.
I have a dedicated box all my own with RDP access on Windows 2008 R2. I have installed XAMPP and have MYSQL running as a service. My server operates great and stays up with no crashes or issues.
I want to be able to do restarts every 6 hours (6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am) with warning messages at 15m, 10m, 5m, and 2m before restart.
I've installed BEC and it connects to my server properly. I can see the timed messages that it sends over it chat, and it does restart the server with the #shutdown command on time. However, once it shuts down, nothing comes back up. The server closes out and BEC immediately closes out as well. As far as I can tell i've followed all of the instructions that come with the software.
I did get firedaemon and try running everything as services instead, but I didn't have much luck. Each process i make give me an error that it wants to send me a message but can't because it's not compatible with windows, so it gets run in a seperate environment. The server exe started successfully this way, but the server was unreachable over the network.
As a bonus, i'd also like to make my Arma 2 recover from crashes on its own if possible.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
