How can I kill all cmd.exe except what is currently running from the package?

In the past few days, I have been working on a script that, in my opinion, would be pretty simple, but it seems that is not the case, and I understand why. My problem is how to get around this.

The script package I need to clarify:

I have a script that runs in cmd.exe that does a bunch of things like moving a huge number of files from one place to another. Let's call him movefile.cmd. This script works, but sometimes stops (very rarely - it allows you not to enter into why and what the script is). It is important that this script always works, so my idea was to create a package that exits cmd.exe and then reopen the script every hour or so. Lets call it a scriptrestartcmd.bat

It sounds quite easy how I could do this:

@echo off

:loop

start c:\script\movefile.cmd 

Timeout /nobreak /t 3600

Taskkill cmd.exe

goto loop

But obviously this does not work, because my new script also works in cmd.exe, so it will also kill this process.

What I tried:

So, I made a copy of cmd.exe and renamed it to dontkillthis.exe. I run dontkillthis.exe and then open restardcmd.bat from dontkillthis.exe - this works great! But I just need to dobbleclick my script, and not do it. What for? Since it should be as simple as possible, and I want my restartcmd.bat file to be in my startup folder.

It is also just for information to others. I found out that you can stop and start other cmd files based on the name, which would be an alternative to solving my question. So, let's say it movefile.cmdhas this line in its script: Title "movefile"("" important). Then I can write taskkill /F /FI "WindowTitle eq Administrator: \"movefile"" /Tin restartcmd.bat:)

A few lines will help you with this:

TITLE exclude
taskkill /IM cmd.exe /FI "WINDOWTITLE ne exclude*"
