[cod] Linux Startup scripts?

[Nathan Peters]

Cool.  Yeah what I'm planning to do as far as the server not responding is probably a cron job that runs every 5 minutes or so.  If it finds that the server process is not running it will run my start script.  If it finds it is running it will not do anything.  Something to that nature.  Man the possiblities of a perfect set of scripts we could all create if we all put our ideas together!

  here is my startup config that works  just fine.  If i find the server not responding I just login and kill -9 the pid
  #!/bin/bash
  while true
  do
  /home/user/callofduty/cod_lnxded +exec ded.cfg +sets gamestartup \"`date +"%m-%d-%Y %T"`\"
  echo "server crashed on `date`" > last_crash.txt
  done

    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
