i just can't help myself...

added functionality that makes certain you don't end up running multiple instances of the same script accidentally (very bad things would have happened).

runemu.vbs

set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' return process object collection where process name starts with procName
function ProcessObjectList(procName)
    queryStr = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE name LIKE '" & procName & "%'"
    set ProcessObjectList = GetObject("Winmgmts:").ExecQuery(queryStr)
end function

' is process running?
function Running(procName)
    if ProcessObjectList(procName).Count < 1 then
        Running = false
    else
        Running = true
    end if
end function

' start processes if not already running 
sub RunServer
    for each procName in array("EQEmuLoginServer", "World", "EQLaunch", "UCS")
        if not Running(procName) then
            runStr = procName & ".exe"
            if StrComp("EQLaunch", procName, 1)=0 then
                runStr = runStr & " zone"
            end if
            Shell.Run runStr, 0, false
        end if
    next
end sub

' exit if this script is already running
set processList = ProcessObjectList("wscript")
if processList.Count > 1 then
    foundScript = 0
    for each process in processList
        if StrComp(process.name, "wscript.exe", 1)=0 then
            if InStr(process.CommandLine, WScript.ScriptName) then
                foundScript = foundScript+1
            end if
        end if
        if foundScript > 1 then
            WScript.Echo WScript.ScriptName & " is already running!"
            WScript.Quit
        end if
    next
end if
set processList = Nothing

' loop forever (30000 millisecond delay)
do while true
    RunServer
    Wscript.Sleep 30000
loop

this one terminates both the monitoring script and all running emulator executables
