So I am having some trouble with one of my servers, and, as an
emergency measure,  wanted to come up with a way to restart CF 6.1 via
a web-based file I can call from a browser.

So I wrote a little file that uses CFEXECUTE to call a batch file that
in turn issues a NET STOP of the CF service, followed by a NET START. 
 Seemed simple enough.

Only trouble is that only the NET STOP runs.  It does a great job of
killing the service but for some reason the batch file doesn't finish
executing.

Other than trying to do this in the first place, where did I go wrong?
alternatives?

the call: 

<cfexecute 
   name="z:\foo\ReCF.bat"
   timeout="10">
</cfexecute>

and the batch file (not using the ODBC services):

@echo on
net stop "ColdFusion MX Application Server"
net start "ColdFusion MX Application Server"
