I do it this way:
I have a restarter that restarts after every crash or sth.:
http://otland.net/f19/simple-serv-manager-easy-understand-d-17119/
And I have this programm:
Z-Cron - Download
In this Programm I make a Schedule for Windows that close (kills) TFS at a decent hour (e.g. 6.30). Then the Restarter restarts the Server automatically. You just need to know the time when your IP changes and make it then (probably ~10 minutes later to be sure). If you need more help with Z-Cron in configuring it or sth just msg here.
Rep++ ???

If your problem is mainly your IP changing, you could try using the program on www.no-ip.com called No-IP DUC v2.2 and leave it open all day long and that program will automatically update your hosts with the current IP if/when it changes. It works perfectly for me at least :)

Hope it helps.

The restarter works.
You need to set it up right.
Put the program in the same directory as your otservers .exe is.
Set the name of your .exe in the "Serv .exe" field.
And be sure to check the "Restar server" checkbox.
Now press start.

Well Im not so pro on this to help you out but Ill try again, probably you know this already but maybe if you make a simple restarter.bat it may work, at least thats what I use and works perfectly.

In case you dont know how to do that, make a new Notepad file in the same folder of your OT and add this:

Code: 
echo off
title [I]YOURSERVERNAME[/I]
cls
:controllerini
[I]YOURSERVER[/I].exe
echo :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
echo ::                   Server Crashed... Restarting.                           ::
echo :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
goto :controllerini

Then save it as restarter.bat and test it out, maybe it will work.

Hope it helps.

Wont work in hes case.

@Topic; Ok, the restarters wont work because that damn warning window appears (the ot process will still be "running" while the message is up), deactivate it.

Hum,I made a simple program which both restarts and closes the error window.

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vmentvtgtlg
AutoIt based program so might give false positive.

How to use:
1# Run the restarter it will exit and create a config.ini file in the same folder as the restarter.
2# Open the config.ini file
You will now see this:
Code: 
[Settings]
OT_PATH=
OT_PROCESS_NAME=
ERROR_WINDOW_TITLE=

@ OT_PATH, here you set the whole path to the servers .exe
@ OT_PROCESS_NAME, here you set the servers process name, if you aren't sure about it, start your OT and press ctrl+alt+delete and find the process.
@ERROR_WINDOW_TITLE, set the title of the error window which appears when the OT crashes.

#3 Now run the restarter and your ready to go :)


I haven't tested the "window closer" feature so I don't know if it works, but it should.
Can you set up your ot and the restarter and make the ot crash and see if it works? :)
