<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>
