Yes! Just make sure you setup correctly and not to close the command window and it should run until php encounters an error (Rare-ish)
You probably didn't rename start.cmd -> start.bat IF it can't find start.bat , it will retry over and over as that's the function of it. To automatically reload the server. The loop pauses when the server is running, and continues when it's not as to start the server again.
It worked for me when I tried it there, now there is already reports of that issue so I'll look into it, sorry for the inconvenience. But for one, it is in the same folder as your pocketmine folder, everything is named correctly?
I don't think windows xp supports the way I refer to files and the loop. And Windows XP is a hackers target now, you really should jump ship and get that pc.
I use the first version and not the one with the backup manager because I already have a cron job setup for that. It even works on 1.4 servers!
@iamadpond Would it be possible to run the "wget -q -O - http://get.pocketmine.net/ | bash -s - -v development" command before the script counts down and restarts? I know that is dangerous but it is what I would like to add.
