My spawnbbs.cmd looks something like:
=== cut here ===
echo on
%BBSDRIVE%
cd %BBSROOT%\max
MAXP -p%3 -b%2 -t%4 -n1
if errorlevel 80 goto error
if errorlevel 13 goto end
if errorlevel 12 goto echomail
if errorlevel 11 goto netmail
if errorlevel 5 goto localmail
goto end

:restmax
%BBSDRIVE%
cd %BBSROOT%\max
maxp.exe -p%3 -n1 -r
if errorlevel 80 goto error
if errorlevel 13 goto end
if errorlevel 12 goto echomail
if errorlevel 11 goto netmail
if errorlevel 5 goto localmail
goto end

:echomail
start "Node 1 - Squish" /I /C %BBSROOT%\bink\node1\max-sq.cmd ECHOMAIL
%BBSDRIVE%
cd %BBSROOT%\max
goto end

:netmail
start "Node 1 - Squish" /I /C %BBSROOT%\bink\node1\max-sq.cmd NETMAIL
%BBSDRIVE%
cd %BBSROOT%\max
rem scanbld user.bbs area.dat local matrix
goto end

:error
:localmail
rem scanbld user.bbs area.dat local
rem goto end

:end
=== cut here ===

Notes:  

(1)  %BBSROOT% and %BBSDRIVE% are defined else where so I can shuffle what 
partition things are on without major control file changes.

(2)  You need to have multi-node capability turned on in both Max and Bink.

(3)  There is something I did in the Max control files to have logs, etc., 
named based on the "node" number....  Ah, yes....  some of my file name entries 
in the max control files are like:

Log File <path>\max*.log

Which allows the node number to get substituted into the file name.  So, node 
1, uses log file max01.log.

Take care.....
