That is spot on, it's OnPluginStart that got killed.

public OnPluginStart ()
{
    RegAdminCmd ("sm_evil", ClientExec, ADMFLAG_RCON);
}

public Action:ClientExec (client, args)
{
	new abc = 0;
	while (abc < 10)
	{
		new gfh = 1232144650;
		new rtv = gfh*23845243;
		abc++;
	}	
	ServerCommand("sm_evil");
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

watchdog dont stop it

That's because the plugin is technically running and not holding up the server.

[SM] Exception reported: Script execution timed out

Definitely not a prefect feature. Getting a false positive OnPluginStart when a KeyValuesToFile is being read. Text file is 3,58 MB

That is not a false positive.

Care to explain. If I make the text file smaller. (1kb, 13 lines - no errors).
Solution, disable watchdog feature or increase SlowScriptTimeout heavily?

Asherskin, how about this one then.

It requests sdktools I assume. With SlowScriptTimeOut 0 no error there. Reloading the plugin works.

I'd say your HDD is dying, it shouldn't be taking 8 seconds to read and parse a 3.5MB text file, your server must take forever to startup given SRCDS' heavy disk usage.

But, the watchdog is working exactly as intended: a plugin is executing for more than SlowScriptTimeout seconds without returning to the game loop -> kill the plugin.

Oh, I wasn't thinking again. These errors are coming from my laptop, sorry.
However, found it really weird that one plugin out of +100 can't find sdktools when all the others do. Lol

Ok, so we have it all sorted out. Stupidity again
