Can you attach a log of a restart and the content of your start.bat?

Wow it actually started working again (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, it does this at times), for restart-script I have "start.bat" set which is normal for windows right? I'll send the restart log next time it doesn't restart

restart works fine, the issue is the concept is basically broken You're attempting to start a server process before the old one has ended, this can often lead to a variety of race conditions such as having the right amount of free memory when java needs it and if the network port is available; Heavily recommend using a startup script that's designed to auto restart vs relying on the mechanism built into spigot

k thanx for explaining that I'm not sure how to make a script that autorestarts the server, guess I got some googling to do. Yeah it may have been a memory problem ports are working fine plus I using Ethernet cable, restart is working normal again it seems. Almost seems like re-entering the start.bat script and starting the server again fixed it but then again more than likely a coincidense
