Hey guys just checking back in with everyone. I solved the problem as far as reboot goes. After a bit of digging I locate a program called Startup Delayer and it solved the issue I was having with it all crashing as soon as start up happens. By delaying the applications from starting by 5 seconds it gives MySQL a chance to initialize and it now pops up after a reboot or crash no problem. Thank you all for all the help.

Unfortunately nothing is working. I did services added it to the startup folder even used regedit to key in a startup. Services just error saying it won't respond and with any startup the "command" widows open but close after a few seconds.

Just got home from work so im going to try a couple of the solutions and I'll post results in a bit.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind lillecarl. Im actually running on XP for my OS but ill try and set it all up through the startup path as you suggested.

Thank you UnkleNuke I think that is what I will try next. I tried adding realmd and mangosd to the list of programs that run at boot unfortunately when I restart the computer just to make sure everything was kosher the two "command" windows for realmd and mangosd opened but the closed all of a second later. I will go ahead and try to make them a Service and yes MySQL is also a Service.

Pyro you are absolutely right that would work. I hadn't thought of doing just that my mind immediately leaped to a more complex program assuming I might run into a situation where the realmd or mangosd itself might crash or some other complexity that I had yet to think of. So until I do run into one of those situations I feel this solves everything. Thank you.

Hey guys I have an idea and just not enough know how to execute on it. Long story short the computer i'm running my server on will occasionally reboot (issue with a short on a usb port causing reboot so forth and so on) and I'm not constantly at my computer to ensure the server stays running. Essentially I want to develop a program that runs a simple if then statement but it needs to actually run executables. I would set the program to run at the boot of the computer and all it needs to do is check if realmd.exe and mangosd.exe are running and if they are not it needs to start them. It seems simple enough on paper but I haven't been able to get anything to work. Any idea's or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
