Start daemon from cronjob?

LnG · **Author**

Im trying to follow this guide: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=99200
I dont have any experience with scripts before and dont really know anything about perl and daemon. Is it possible to start the daemon from cronjobs? or is this something else entirely?

Thanks,
LnG

My script to check: (stat.sh)

Quote:

#!/bin/bash

ret=$(ps aux | grep [h]lstats.pl | wc -l)

if [ "$ret" -eq 0 ]

then {
echo "Running HLstatsX"
sleep 1
/path_to_stats/scripts/run_hlstats start 1 27500
exit 1
}

else
{
echo "Exit. HLstatsX already running!"
exit 1
}
fi;

Crontab:

Quote:

*/30 * * * * /home/servers/stat.sh

Possibly suitable for your purposes. Can put a certain time. Or periodically to check if the script is running.
