[mohaa] Server restart script

[Josh Berry]

For a quick and very, very dirty hack you can do:

ps -ef | grep mohaa_lnxded | grep -v grep > temp; sed 's/    /:/g' temp
> temp2; gawk -F: '{ print $2 }' temp2

This will print the PID of the mohaa process to console. Alternatively
you could add a "> pid.txt" onto the end to write the pid to a file
called pid.txt. Note that this will create two temporary files in the
location of the script.

You can then read from the file and into other scripts to do whatever
with.

If you run multiple servers on one box then you will have to modify the
grep bit to make it return only a single line ... so for example

ps -ef | grep mohaa_lnxded | grep 123.123.123.123 | grep -v grep > temp

where 132.etc is the IP address of your server (assuming you have "+set
net_IP 123.123.123.123" in the startup line for your server so it
displays when you do a ps -ef

Hope that helps
