Cron.jobs/Auto Restart

[[KaoS] Stryker]

MessageI am not the computer savvy one but I am helping an associate out getting the info. We want to set up a server auto restart. This is new to me so forgive me if I sound confusing. But I believe we want to set up cron.job to check server approx every few minutes  to see if it is running or timed out and then execute the startup process if its down. I understand we need several elements to make this work. Cron.job, cron.script and crontab or something like that. Could someone help us out on getting this setup. We need to know what folders these files/scripts are suppose to reside in and how to get it to run..........Cron.jobs for idiots.
  Ha-ha, I would appreciate the help Guys, Gals.

      We are in the final stages of development of our gaming control panel.  We have taken many months to work on this as we wanted to keep it off of the game servers and on a central site.  We are 95% done with the code and are in beta testing mode now.  Here is a brief summary of what the system does.

       

      Qualifications: 
      Linux based gaming server

       

      A brief overview of the system:

       

      NO software needs installed on the game servers, not even a web server.

       

      Web Based

       

      One click upgrades -

                  Punkbuster updates

                  Call of Duty patches

                  BFRM updates

                  BF1942 patches

                  Counter-Strike updates

                  Soldier of Fortune II updates

      Network News per IP

      Server Restarts

      Server Stops

      Server Starts

      Configuration Script modifications
      BF1942

      CS

      COD

      SOFII

      RTCW

      ET

       

      Pings

      Trace routes

       

      Admin Features:

      Remote installs - You create the install setting and click go.  It does the rest.

      Example: You have a client who just ordered a bf1942 server. You load up the admin tool and click "create server" then you select the server type of bf1942.  The system will then ask you a series of questions and issue a remote call to the servers ip (that you select) and begin downloading and installing.  It will then install the configs you create to the correct directories.

       

      With our scripting engine you are able to do anything with this tool that you can do by hand.

       

      We are looking for a few outside parties who would be willing to help us test this.  If you are interested please visit http://forums.thebbgn.net and signup in the Gaming Panel Forum. We also have a few basic screenshots of the system.  If you are not interested simply delete this email.

       

      Thank You,
