Think of it as an alternative to hlds_run, which you usually execute by typing something like this:

./hlds_run -console -game <game> +ip <ip> -port <port> +maxplayers <xx> +map <mapname> -autoupdate

So, create a new file in the same directory, paste the content as posted above (don't forget to change the parameters to your specific needs), save it as alt_hlds_run (or whatever you prefer) and chmod +x it (make it executable). And execute it by simply typing

./alt_hlds_run

Whenever the server crashes, it will log the date and time of the occurrance to ./crash.log.

Thanks, but I don't understand as to how to make it executable.

Usually scripts are named without an extension. So you would just name it without it (you can do this with Notepad++ simply by providing the name with no extension and make sure the "save as type" is "All types (*.*)").

You then need to make it executable. chmod = change mode(?) to make it able to be executed. You can do this with ftp. Probably by right clicking and selecting properties.

When I try to execute it, I get this:

./hlds_run_autorestart: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I set the execute permissions and saved it without an extension (saved with all types in notepad).

Here is the script I input:

#! /bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

while [ true ]; do
        ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +map de_cbble +port 27016 -debug
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting"
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting" >> crash.log
        sleep 5
done

You used Notepad that came with Windows? In XP, Notepad will automatically put a .txt extension on it. That would explain it not being able to find the file.

Notepad++ will do it correctly.

you tried my code exolent? i did it with pico ( ubuntu )

[Exolent[jNr]]

Your code is no different than mine.

it's in the wrong folder. It should be right next to hlds_run which is parallel to /cstrike/.
