E1_531G gave the most common general answer that will work even for seg faults.

It won't recover from segmentation fault, nothing will help that except if you find the problem yourself, but for other insignificant crashes it definitely would do the trick.

Debug is not the autostart function.

Does your hlds automatically start on VPS reboot? Then do you have anything to continue to monitor the hlds state already?

Again, it does restart it on crash.

Start up a server now without -debug.

Now where is the proof that Auto-restarting the server on crash only works if debug is toggled also?

By the way are you aware your plugin request is ready?

[SomewhereLost]

I am aware of that. We had a discussion on steam about that thread.

I do not know how it works for you, but for me I've been using -debug for ages now on Linux and thats the only method as far as I know for restarting the server on crash, excluding when its a seg fault.

[DJEarthQuake]

Why then does it state "Auto-restarting the server on crash" without -debug? lsof shows same files in memory with or without debug.

I meant the OP but that is cool you shared the startup link. Do you use that in a script? Do you have more information on the parameters please?

-nobreakpad - Let plugin authors still get old style minidumps if they need it (win32 only)

I do not believe the win32 comment to be true once libsteam.so is copied. Has anybody else verified this? I was able to copy the file and use -nobreakpad on Linux.

dlopen failed trying to load: /home/steam/.steam/sdk32/libsteam.so with error: /home/steam/.steam/sdk32/libsteam.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reproducible evidence server will restart without debug.

The server application (hlds_linux) will automatically restart if you run it through the hlds_run script, unless you also specify -norestart while running it. -debug only tells it to run it through a debugger software, like GDB.

[zomby1]

So to add "-debug" in the end and when the server crashed it will be re-on?
Thanks for all !!!

No! It seems you're not reading all of the posts. "-debug" has nothing to do with the server restarting itself.

If you're using Linux and you use the provide method (hlds_run) for starting your server, it will restart on its own in most cases. However, there are some fatal crashes that the hlds_run script will actually also fail which then will mean it won't restart (e.g. a seg fault). To handle this, you have to use some external process to manage the running of the server. Two options have already been posted in this thread.

If you're using Windows, you should still probably use some sort of external program to manage running the server.
