Hi guys, I have setup a Source dedicated server and am trying to automate it and any associated processing so that I never have to logon to the host and perform work manually.
At present I am using Server Checker to detect when the srcds.exe process crashes so that it is automatically restarted, however I have found a few problems that I would like to try find a way to get around. I want to take down the server at ad-hoc times and run the hlds update tool to update any game files when an update is released. At present I have to do this manually. I have written a vbscript that terminates the serverchecker.exe and srcds.exe processes so that I can then run the update, however if srcds.exe is terminated without typing 'quit' in the console, the log files are not updated! Does anyone know how you would pass a 'quit' command to a remote srcds console so that you could perform regular updates like this?? Any help would be appreciated :) p.s.- I also noticed that Server Checker simply terminates the process too when you hit 'stop' on an active server. Makes stats processing a pain :( Regards, Adam. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
