-The startup batch file provides a five second delay after starting the server  before launching the Sim Manager, which should be adequate, but if the  server is slow starting for some reason, the Sim Mgr terminal window  will show a console error to the effect that the server wasn't found.   If that happens, just close everything and run the batch file again.
