Question regarding -timeout 6, does that allow to rerun the server?

[8088]

According to the Valve Developer Community it's just the Source alternative to Goldsource's -autoupdate.

Hi. My english is no good, but i hope you can help me..

I created file "hlds_loop" without extension and "chmod +x" on my dedicated serwer with this text :

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

while [ true ]; do
        ./hlds_run -game cstrike -tos -pingboost 1 +maxplayers 21 +map de_dust2 +port 27029 +exec server.cfg +ip 19.132.13.13
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting"
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting" >> crash.log
        sleep 5
done

when i put in linux command line :

./hlds_loop

i see this error :

-bash: ./hlds_loop: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu (in english : There is no file or directory)

Can you help me?

That's not good idea. The hanged ./hlds always exist in memory. First we must check ./hlds is running or not. if not runnig try to kill hanged hlds then we must hlds.

My script doesn't support frozen instances, so yes - its a bad idea if you encounter that behaviour. Feel free to add some sort of killing mechanism for it though (the power of open source ).

#! /bin/bash

./hlds_i686 -game ns -maxplayers 32 -pingboost 1 +map co_faceoff +ip 78.143.28.20 -pidfile pidfile.txt &> logfile.txt
sleep 5

while [ true ]; do
  IS_CRASHED=`tail -n 1 logfile.txt | grep "^\./hlds_run:.*Segmentation fault"`
  if test -n "$IS_CRASHED"; then
    echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting"
    echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting" >> crashlog.txt
    PID=`tail -n 1 pidfile.txt`
    kill $PID
    ./hlds_i686 -game ns -maxplayers 32 -pingboost 1 +map co_faceoff +ip 78.143.28.20 -pidfile pidfile.txt &> logfile.txt
  fi
  sleep 5
done

Someone can help me?

Hello everyone, it may be a little late to respond to this thread, but I think it can help to more than one, because I've applied the solution to the problem with we use the "rcon quit", that cause a crash of the server.

I made this:
1.- Locate file hlds_run and open to edit
2.- Locate in Line 17 --> DEBUG=0
3.- Change with --> DEBUG=""
4.- Locate in Line 336 --> update
5.- Change with --> # update
6.- Locate in Line 354 --> update
7.- Change with --> # update
8.- Save the file hlds_run

It's all.

Now you can run your server with this start (for example... my server is dod 1.3):

screen -A -m -d -S dod ./hlds_run -console -game dod -autoupdate +ip XX.XX.XX.XX +port 27015 +map dod_anzio -maxplayers 24 +sys_ticrate 1000

NOW when you use "rcon quit", the server RESTART are perfectly.

Note 1: My SO is debian-6.0-x86_64
Note 2: Valve no longer provides support to the games HL1

No space between ! and /

As for restarts, I just run my server with -debug option and it restarts automatically after crash.

Have you tried putting this code inside hlds_run_autostart?

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

while [ true ]; do
        ./hlds_run
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting"
        echo "Server crashed at '`date`' - Restarting" >> crash.log
        sleep 5
done

I was sure that would work but it doesn't on my server for some reason and I don't quite know or make sense of it...
