[Mr. Man]

Quick backstory: was randomly checking servers earlier today and saw all of them in red (offline mode) so had to manually reboot them. No errors in the logs, and it appears all of them were down simultaneously, which I found odd.

So, is there a script or method that can help me manage this? Meaning, an auto-restart script for when servers suddenly shut down? Thanks!

can do that with a cronjob you can google cronjob check if service is running.
I don't really know how to write scripts for cronjob i just follow tutorial

Me neither - I'll have to cook up something and paste it here for someone to check.

You can use this... https://linuxgsm.com/lgsm/l4d2server/

It works on Linux and you can also manage the control.

About the restart, you can configure a cronjob like this:

*/5 * * * * cd /yourftpaddress/serverfiles ./l4d2server start


It will start the server every 5 minutes. If it´s currently running, it does not do anything.

I am looking for a solution that ideally doesn't use dependencies like a game server manager. Any additional info on what the cron job would look like?

1. Query, check if server is offline
2. Restart if necessary.
