Auto restart crashed server.

grimvh2 · **Author**

Hey all,

I know it has been discussed from time to time. But i failed a few times.
I would like to know wich is the best and easyest program to restart a crashed server. We have a root server (sort dedicated box) running on linux.

Greetings Grim

The server should restart on it's own

well i am kinda new to setting up servers.
I use putty , and then i use the screen command

Code:

screen -A -m -d -S cs1 ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust2 +port 27020

maybe im doing something wrong?

Greetings Grim & thx for your reply

I use a similar line (mine has -autoupdate) and it restarts on crash, as long as I don't kill the hlds_i686 process manually. While it has been some time since I have used a Linux HLDS, it should restart itself.

I think, that there is a bug with the startupdate for linux..

Allthough it does not query server to see if it has crashed though proccess still on.

Ok I will try that.
