[bf1942] does anyone have an working startscript?

[charles "wokka" goldsmith]

This is what I use for auto-restart on crash:

#!/bin/sh
if `killall -CHLD "bf1942_lnxded" >/dev/null 2>&1`; then
exit 0
fi
"/data9/bf1942/bfstart1"

throw that into the crontab and you are good to go...

also, for those of you who want to see bfstart1:
cd /data9/bf1942
su - wokka -c 'screen -dmS bf1942 /data9/bf1942/bf1942_lnxded'

if you have any questions or need help, let me know.

The su has no function on starting (or not starting in this case) of
servers.  It simply allows the server to launch under a non-root account
when the script is executed by root.  As long as the loop is true, it
does
nothing.  When a server crashes, the loop is broken (for lack of a
better
way to put it) and reruns.  This is very helpful if you like to restart
your
server occassionally (I do it every 4 hours since the process will
sometimes
surge up to 50% at idle for some reason), you just cron a "killall
bf1942_lnxded".
