Modpacks like Direwolf20 1.18 now have a run.bat script from the Forge install. That script is now used entirely to start the server and there is no more Forge jar directly in the root folder of the server. The start.bat script shipped by the server installer fails to find the jar, therefore it's never put in the script.
I would like to suggest implementing something where if run.bat is found, that run.bat script is renamed to start.bat.
This will standardize installers for our users and the change should be retroactively compatible with old packs.
People will also stop being confused about 2 batch scripts and see only one. I have it documented in the server procedure https://go.ftb.team/create-a-server for them already and point them towards it when that happens, but I think my suggestion could be better for users.
Everytime I mean batch script I also mean shell script,
Idea suggested by jikuja on the FTB Discord, which I agreed with, was a good idea!

Thanks for looking into it, if you need to reproduce it download Direwolf20 1.18 from the FTB site: https://feed-the-beast.com/modpack/95_ftb_presents_direwolf20_1_18/server-files, then try and run the start.bat script to start the server
