help server auto starting and stopping.

[Zenkaipu]

Oke I'm getting really frustrated, I've been busy searching the web all day and can't find a solution...

Here's the problem:
I got a new pc and decided to use my old one as a minecraft server, I installed windows server 2008 and configured it that everyday it will boot at 12:00am and shuts down at 23:30pm. I created a modpack like FTB to play while waiting for the official release.

What I want to setup is that when the pc boots:
-The minecraftserver starts
-At a certain time the server force-saves and restarts.
-before the pc shuts down(at 23:20 for example) the minecraftserver gets stopped using the "stop" command.

I tried server wrappers like mcmyadmin and multicraft but they fail when using multiple mods and forge.

If anybody knows a solution I will be the happiest person on this planet <3

that part is easy

make a shortcut for what ever file you use to start your server(.bat, .jar, .exe) and put it in the start up folder, start menu>all programs>Startup
this way when the computer starts up the server will automatically run with out you even being there

other than that i cant help ya anymore

using mcmyadmin normaly works perfectly if you have it installed.

Its not the only sollution at all. Windows server has a scheduler where you can put in time events or events on boot up and so on.

This will not do any console commands but mcmyadmin will. And it is working with mod servers fine here.
Or

spacebukkit is just simple commands, no mono and that.

I dont know is spacebukkit has got save features. I gues it will have it. I still need to look at it myself but try that one maybe.

The main problem with adding the server to the startup folder is that the console doesn't show up. The server is running, but there is no way of seeing
