Default Running EQEmu as a Service, Update?

I found a thread that pretty much sums up what I have done, though I am trying to find a different way for the zone part.

http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthr...=start+service

I've gotten this method( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890 )
To work for several other programs, but so far no luck with EQEmu.
My current setup for running EQEmu as a service is:

run as service C:\EQEmu\WorldDebug.exe (for bots)
run as service C:\EQEmu\eqlaunch.exe zone (to boot the dynamic zones, which I have set as 25 from the db)

I believe what I need to do is manually make a service for each ?dynamic?? zone launcher.

If anyone has some advice, I am all ears.



Edit

I am pretty sure if I ran the starteqemu.bat of
"@echo off
start worlddebug.exe
echo Waiting for World to finish before starting Zone...
sleep 20
start eqlaunch.exe zone"

Then once the .bat finished, it would see that it was down, and restart it. Though I think there is a way to disable that.
My main goal is to not have to login the desktop/explorer.exe after a reboot to start eqemu. Also having a way to reboot it each day at a certain time would be nice.

Check the tools section. If you are looking for a way to restart your world if it crashes, there already a tool for that. And one is in progress to allow it to restart to world regularly on a timer with in-game warning messages.
