The cmd to do the stop and start are 'owned' by CF and if CF dies, then the cmd dies as well. This does the start, but not the stop. You might want to look into doing a bat file to set a one time cron job to do the work for you. Yes, it could end up with a lot of one shot at commands, but it's foolproof.
