	I was going to do it by checking a config value to see if it had run
before, then setting a shutdown command to add the restart command and clear the
variable if it hadn't. This was rather long winded, and didn't work in some
circumstances (like a server crash). The property way works, and is much neater
and easier to understand too. Thanks.

	Fair enough :)
