[cod] server up too long?

My 2 cents....

That's the beauty of a Linux OS, so you shouldn't have to schedule restarts (unless your running Microsoft......).

It seems there should be a configuration setting for MAXIMUM_LOGFILE_SIZE, which archives the logfile and creates a new one so you don't HAVE to restart your server at 5am.

Geoff,

How do you clear the game log with the server running?  I wanted to do the same thing myself, but was afraid it may cause some issues.

game logs can be cleared out without having to restart the server. if i can maintain the same uptime on my cod2 server and not experience these issues, then the same should go for cod4.

And if a clan is playing a match at 5am they need to discover the outside!

Well, we all know setting up a cron job is not a big deal for this method. But restarting periodically is not a fair thing. What if a team is actually playing matches @ 5 AM? Anyway I think the better way is to find and fix the bug.

Good practice you should really restart you're server periodically, reduce game log sizes & knocks out any errors. I'm sure there are more experienced people here that can advise on a linux program that will schedule this for you, but a 5am restart will alleviate these kinds of troubles :)
