when splunk status is stopped it will autometically run batch file to splunk start..

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin\splunk status
ECHO %PATH% 
PAUSE
if  %PATH% == splunk is stopped (
   change it
restart splunk

You can use Windows Service Configuration Manager to do this. Following seems to be a working script based off one of the answers on Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3325081/how-to-check-if-a-service-is-running-via-batch-file-and-start-it-if-it-is-not-r

@Echo Off
set path="%WINDIR%\system32"
set ServiceName=splunkd

sc queryex "%ServiceName%"|Find "STATE"|Find /v "RUNNING">Nul&&(
    echo %ServiceName% not running 
    echo Start %ServiceName%

    Net start "%ServiceName%">nul||(
        Echo "%ServiceName%" did not start 
        exit /b 1
    )
    echo "%ServiceName%" started
    exit /b 0
)||(
    echo "%ServiceName%" Running
    exit /b 0
)

Please try out and confirm. PS: I have set the path to Windows system32 folder since the same is required to run sc and net start commands.
