[cod] Linux Startup scripts?

[Nathan Peters]

Not sure if I can help you there man.  I don't know a ton about linux.  Yet there is a bunch of peeps here that do.  I will tell you in advance what they will need.  Do a top command or something that shows all the processes running.  Too many variables can contribute to stuff like that - hanging, crashing, etc.  More details you can give them the better.  What my script does is run the program in the background and gives it the nohup command and also writes to a logfile.  This keeps the process from quittin'.  It works very well.  I'm very proud of myself haha.  Many hours of research and search engines finding the pieces I needed to make it work.  As far as the screen command goes I don't know enough about that to help you.  But from what I have learned it keeps it running when you close the shell or logoff the system.  Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.  Anyways, that's my input.

  That sounds wonderful.  I have been running the server and never had crash yet it just hangs with either 100% cpu and none can connect.  That  is what I am trying to sort out getting restarted?

  Red Hat 8.0 install on the OS.  I have not tried the latest screen commands does that change the way the dedicated server runs?

    Hey everyone.  It took me 5 hours this weekend to write custom startup, restart, and shutdown scripts for the medal of honor linux server - because the server I'm hosted on doesn't have the screen command and I didn't want to have to install a ton of stuff to make it work.  I'm also in the process of writing scripts to turn mods on and off very easily and also a script that emails me when the server goes down or a script that restarts the server, not sure yet.  But, I'm pretty sure these scripts will work for CoD also.  I copywrited or licensed them whatever you want to call it with the GNU license so they're free but I still get credit for writing them, so if you want to take a look at them let me know and I'll put them somewhere where you can download them, that way you get a copy of the license.  Reason: It took me a long time to do this and I doubt anyone has scripts like these.  They can be run from a cron also.

    Peace out,

      I have mine in a forever loop with a 5 second delay. If it crashes, which is rare, it the quit command is issued then it pauses for 5 seconds and restarts the server. The script also manages the log files and other cleanup tasks.

        Okay thanks for all the feedback.

         

        Next question is I used to have to set a cron job or something to restart the server when it hangs or crashes.

         

        Anyone using any daemon tools or supervisor tools on CoD that work.

        Hi,

         

        create a file

        ex: vi start

        paste this "screen -A -m -d -S cod /cod_lnxded +map_rotate"

        write and quit vi

        chmod +777 start

        execute: ./start

        ctrl a+d to leave the screen
