[cod] Autostart COD4/WaW linux server at boot

[Frode L]

That sounded better.

I did a modification to suit me.. I think.

Have a look at this, does this look ok? :
http://remote.kb-h.com/cod4/cod4_start_stop.txt

But what do I name this script and where does it go (what folder)?

 

The folder: PIDFILE=/var/run/cod4/cod4.pid

does not exist, do I make this, or will it be made? Also the same with the
file?

 

If you would be so kind to make a RPM for CentOS of your Monit I would be
interested in testing that.

Little uncertain on what it does and even how to manage that, but you might
be so kind to explain how to work it?

I use a combination of an init script (utilizing debian's start-stop-daemon)
and monit, a process monitoring utility. I have monit set to start on boot,
and it will start any applications that it is configured to monitor if they
weren't already started.

init script example: http://www.anarchic-x.com/script/cod2-init.txt

monit can be installed via yum or apt-get

start-stop-daemon is available on debian/ubuntu, but I can provide an RPM
for CentOS if anyone needs one.

When you say 'on boot'...

 

Do you mean when you first start the machine up?

I have tried it, but that does not solve my problem on how to start it at
boot or even automatically restarting it upon crash.

I still have to start the screen session at boot, and I don't have a clue on
how to do so.

 

Any suggestions? (Reverting to win server is out of the question) J

There are several options.

 

Using screen isn't a bad idea- have you checked that?

Hi I'm a bit newbie when it comes to nix servers and I really need some
help.

I have been looking all over the net for a tutorial on this subject,
hopefully I have found the right spot.

 

Anyone got a good tutorial or can help me to get a COD4 or WaW linux server
to start at boot?

I got the server running, but so far in a putty window and I can't have it
running like that.

 

The server is running on a CentOS box with Webmin, Putty and local access,
no GUI other than the Webmin.

 

All help would be appreciated..
