Terminal auto restart.

only by using WINAPI

#import "shell32.dll"
   int ShellExecuteA(int hWnd, string Verb, string File, string Parameter, string Path, int ShowCmd);
#import
bool Shell(string file, string parameters=""){
    #define DEFDIRECTORY NULL
    #define OPERATION "open"    // or print
    #define SW_SHOWNORMAL 1
    int r=ShellExecuteA(0, OPERATION, file, parameters, DEFDIRECTORY, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
    if (r > 32) return(true);
    Alert("Shell failed: ",r);
    return(false);
}
void CloseTerminal() {
    int main = GetAncestor(WindowHandle(Symbol(), Period()), 2/*GA_ROOT*/);
    PostMessageA(main, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
}
void RestartTerminal(){
    if ( Shell("RestartTerminal.bat") ) CloseTerminal();
}

If the Script is put in the terminal directory then

@echo off
rem RestartTerminal.bat
:loop
  tasklist | findstr "terminal.exe" >nul
  if ERRORLEVEL 1 start "terminal" "%~dp0terminal.exe" & exit
  ping -n 6 localhost >nul& rem Sleep 5 seconds
goto loop

void RestartTerminal(){
    string termPath    = TerminalPath(),
           termRestart = termPath + "\\RestartTerminal.bat"
    if ( Shell("cmd.exe", "/C "+termRestart) ) CloseTerminal();
}

@echo off
rem RestartTerminal.bat
set /a initialCount=0
for /f "usebackq delims==" %%F in (`tasklist ^| findstr "terminal.exe"`) do (
    set/a initialCount+=1
)
:loop
    ping -n 6 localhost >nul& rem Sleep 5 seconds
    set /a newCount=0
    for /f "usebackq delims==" %%F in (`tasklist ^| findstr "terminal.exe"`) do (
        set/a newCount+=1
    )
    if %newCount% == %initialCount%     goto loop
start "terminal" "%~dp0terminal.exe"

void RestartTerminal(){
    string termPath    = TerminalPath(),
           termRestart = termPath + "\\RestartTerminal.bat"
    if ( Shell("cmd.exe", "/C "+termRestart) ){
       Sleep (10000);
       CloseTerminal();
    }
}

Hi WHRoeder, Nooby here.

When i use metaeditor to create a script, how should the format be for the implementation of your code above (latest, for multiple installs)? Would greatly appreciate your help if you could show me through the newly created, empty script below.
