Here's a good starting point http://rubyforge.org/projects/rcon/
Ruby, Perl, & Python are a really good starting point for admin scripts. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Sando Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 5:49 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] RE: graceful shutdowns If I too knew how to code to the RCON API (or however you classify it), I would write something that does exactly what you have suggested. I think this is a great idea, and will allow a lot of admins to have greater automation of their servers.

The graceful shutdown we want is the equivalent of typing "quit" at the console, so the logs get flushed / saved. With firedaemon (or any tool that turns hlds/srcds into a service), even with "graceful shutdown" you wont get to keep the last part (or all) of your current maps log file. Someone needs to code a perl based (or an executable - rcon.exe sounds good!) CLI for rcon for server admins, so they could run it in a batch file. If I knew *anything* about coding I would've done that a long time ago. here's some ideas for the coders on this list: file name: rcon.pl flags: -ip 12.34.56.78 -port 27016 -pass 12345 --command (or -c) "sv_gravity 800" or! you could do a config file (for multiple servers) server1.cfg 12.34.56.78 27016 12345 server2.cfg 78.56.34.12 27017 54321 etc etc... rcon.pl -conf server1 -c "quit" or to send the same command to MULTIPLE servers!: rocn.pl --multi (or -m) -conf server1 -conf server2 -conf server3 -c "quit" This is one of those ideas that should've been thought of / fulfilled years ago :P Rick _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by Hostworks Message Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.
