For those interested here is a bat file I setup to do the Restarting of the services. The problem seemed to be that Jrun.exe would not stop when stoping CFMX. So i had to use the kill command. You can find kill.exe in the Windows Resource Kit. This seems to solve it everytime. The cycling of IIS may not be necessary but it make me feel better.
