Someone should port or something this to windows and linux.

Wow, that script is simple looking, it looks like plain text, cool thing though.

2 second google search brings up this.

Code: [Select]

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq notepad.exe" /FO CSV > search.log

FOR /F %%A IN (search.log) DO IF %%~zA EQU 0 GOTO end

start notepad.exe

:end
could very easily be edited to use blockland dedicated.bat

It's AppleScript, it sorta looks like psuedocode, though.

It's simple since it's doing a simple task of alerting a blockland server crash and re-opening it for you.

Go ahead and make something for the minority of OSes used on Blockland.

I have this strange feeling in the bottom of my stomach.
Maybe it's telling me that most people would make something made for their OS.

Nah, that makes absolutely no sense.
