Hey LDuke, This probably won't answer your actual question, however is interesting as a side note:
It appears that ServerChecker can detect when an exception is thrown in SRCDS to a degree, as if the host becomes unresponsive on the TCP port SRCDS is running on, ServerChecker spawns a new process. When I was using ServerChecker, I would login to my server to sometimes find up to 3 or 4 instances of exception dialogs up however ServerChecker would continue to spawn instances of SRCDS, and my server would continue to work. Not ideal, but it is working to a degree. As I said, not a solution, however if you got desperate to find a workaround, you could potentially use a port monitor of some sort that could re-start the service if the TCP port was closed? Maybe...

Anyone know the solution to this: On a side note, Homer and I have been trying desperately on our Win2K3 server box to somehow disable the error reporting on srcds.exe when it encounters a runtime error and displays that horrible dialogue pop-up where the user must click "OK" to get rid of the error. We don't see these too often, maybe once a day across 3 CSS servers on the same host. We have disabled all native Win error reporting via GUI controls on the OS and have even changed some registry values, but still to no avail, we keep getting these error pop-ups. Since we use MeanServerLoader (prolly know this one as it goes way back with older CS 1.X server admins) and it essentially creates an NT service which will restart srcds.exe but only if the pid/process is killed or goes away which circles back around to that dreaded pop-up and when it's active, so is srcds.exe, only in an invalid non-working state. -- _______________________________________________ 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.
