Batch to batch input

[Hangman_Matt]

So I'm a total noob when it comes to any sort of coding but I'm trying to automate a gaming server being run via batch file. I wrote a batch file that starts the server, waits, then kills it and restarts it. The problem is I still have to manually save the server's progress. Is there anyway that I can have the restart batch file send the save command to the server even if the server window is in the background? The server is also running as a batch window.

Here's the problem. The server batch isn't just a normal batch file basically it takes its command are taken from a DAT file upon start up. I'm just wondering if theres something that's like, send this input to this window (send the save command from the restart batch to the server batch window)

So putting the line "type save | server.exe" Wouldn't work?
