Hi Matt,<br>I am not sure if all of this information is really going to be helpful, but here it is.

When anyone posts troubleshooting questions can you please attach the
following:<br>
<br>
uname -a output<br>
md5sum and version of ut3-bin<br>
Relevant system information<br>
Log output from game console<br>
UTGame.ini<br>
UTEngine.ini<br>
Command line used for starting server.<br>
Other observations about cpu load, packet loss, memory usage.<br>
<br>
I think this will give everyone the information they need to contribute
informed input about your problem.<br>
<br>
I've been compiling a guide on how to install the linux server
(including services scripts) for centos and redhat:<br>

Check your config against those steps and that might give you some
ideas.<br><font color="#888888">

can connect again and I have to do a restart. Again, there is no
indication that there is anything wrong. The server reports back server

I am running a standard 32bit "normal" distro of CentOS 5. When I run
cat /proc/version from the commandline, I get this:<br>
Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 (<a href="mailto:mockbuild@builder6.centos.org" target="_blank">mockbuild@builder6.centos.org</a>)
(gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 22

Can someone post a simple monitoring script to auto-restart the server?<br>
Thanks.<br>

have multihome, but the machine is currently using only one IP and thus<br>
the UT3 server is also (mutlihome is used as it's started through a
generic<br>
startscript that can also handle machine with multiple ips).<br>
I will try if I can get any 'statistics' on which maps are the ones
after<br>
which I have to kill te server, and thus if there is some 'flacky' map
out<br>
there. New binary *of course* (other is instability all out), and<br>
furthermore a 'precompiled' distro (no gentoo or shit) and not using
64bit<br>
either. I am alomst positive that 99% of this lists problems would
vanish if<br>
ppl would use 32bit 'normal' distro's and no highly optimised thus
inmensely<br>
patched kernels (not to start a flamewar about this subject, I do
realise<br>
many people can't simply switch distro and all).<br>
