I'm afraid I really have no clue; I haven't used Windows in over a dozen years 
:)

You might be better off following SignpostMarv's instructions for Windows 
Server 2008: 
http://signpostmarv.name/2011/02/10/deploying-opensim-on-windows-server-2008/

Also check Fleep Tuque's notes: http://fleep.wikispaces.com/ — she's running 
Windows, too.

"screen" is a quiet, nice little Unix application that allows a virtual console 
to remain attached to a running application in the background. I'm pretty sure 
it's not available under Windows except if you use CygWin, and would probably 
not be much useful anyway (you can keep all the OpenSim instances simply 
running, each one on its cmd.exe shell, all open). On the other hand, and this 
is just an opinion, going through the pains of installing CygWin on top of a 
Windows server is a bit overkill these days. 

So you can just launch your instances with 

        mono OpenSim.exe -hypergrid=true -inidirectory="./grid/instanceXX"

or even leave -hypergrid=true if you don't want to provide HyperGird 
teleporting functionality to visiting users.

It looks like "monit" is really a Unix-only application 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2006-06/msg00048.html) but 
which can apparently also run under CygWin. I've tried to look for a Windows 
replacement to "monit" but couldn't find anything which is as lightweight as 
"monit" and provides similar functionality, but I'm sure there are other tools 
allowing you to check for running processes in Windows 7 somehow (there are 
tons of them for Unix; monit is just very simple and convenient, and easy to 
configure) and restart them when they reach certain thresholds.

If you have OpenSim.exe running as a 64-bit process under Windows 7, I'm sure 
Robust will do so, too :)

Good luck,

        - Gwyn
