Or you could craft a batch file that automagically reloads eqgame.exe. psudo example posted as follows:

@echo off
cls
echo Starting EQ
:2
start /wait "c:\path\to\eqgame.exe"
goto 2

To halt the loop of EQ auto restarting, you will have to hit 'ctrl-C' in the batch file window and say yes to the prompt.


Windows users essentially use the same batch file to automate a relaunch of world.exe zone.exe upon crash.

the key to this working properly is the following flag:
/WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate


Cheers
