<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes actually it is VERY useful. I can
connect to the console and adjust game options chat...etc. I'm not
sure how you'd do that and see the other peoples responses, short of being in
the game yourself. There are a few things you can't do through /rcon,
although I can't remember which commands off the top of my head.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Jay. I was wondering about the use
of Screen within a Daemon job. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions as to the run startup script
for CoD is you don't use screen and use setusergid?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not use screen with daemon tools. The
run file that you create, or your start script is monitored thru daemon.
If the process is killed with a console command </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\rcon quit, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the supervise process restarts the server.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have mutliple servers booting off
of main game installtion files, it is always wise to leave a server
config in the main installtion. When the server starts it will use the
main installtion server.cfg if the user's config is not
present.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If a client does not have a file or config
properly edited or in the correct folder, the process will not restart.
Always keep a server.cfg located in your main installation.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Main installation server config at
/games/cod/cod-server/uo/server.cfg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>User's server config at
/home/user/cod-server/uo/server.cfg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If configs are not present, I have seen the
process take the whole cpu at 99%. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Daemontools is good program if installed
correctly. Once installed, the program will create a folder called
/service </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cd /service</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now create a folder and name it whatever the
user is named.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mkdir sbclan</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now if you do the "ls" command, you will
notice that there is now a folder called /service/sbclan/supervise
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is made by daemon tolls. Don't even
bother with this folder. Let it be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now you have to have created a start script
and call it run. Copy the run file so it ends up as </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/service/sbclan/run. The run file has have
the setusergid command within the file . <A
href="http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html">http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2></A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>now "chmod +x run" and the service will
start. you will also notice that the server has started.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>svc -d /service/sbclan - will kill the
server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>svc -u /service/sbclan - will restart the
server</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once in a great while, I enter my ventrilo
boxes and give the "ps aux" command to see all the processes. If a notice
an error, i killed the process by thru daemon and search for the config
error. After correcting the error, I would restart the
process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like using it, unlike many other
people.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheers</FONT></DIV>
