May I remind you all about the tool we over at dumbclan wrote to keep servers alive 24/7 - called server checker. I belive it's the best tool out there for the job and that is no overstatement. It has made out lives so much easier and is used by thousands out there. Read about it here: http://www.dumbclan.co.uk/downloads/serverchecker/ where you can also find download links for the program and source code.
ServerChecker was created to keep our servers up and running. We run system-intensive mods on our servers and like all software they might not be free of bugs/crashes. ServerChecker has one big advantage over a batch file: It works from a user-perspective. Scripts, FireDaemon and others would run the program in an infinite loop, counting on the server process to terminate when something happens. ServerChecker on the other hand communicates directly with the server the same way a player would, so if the server doesn't respond to user queries it will get restarted. On top of that, ServerChecker is completely free. No pro or pay-for-nothing versions... NOTE: This is a windows only tool. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Tuttle Sent: 5. juni 2006 16:09 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] You haven't installed Half-Life Dedicated Server yet! You should manually install amxmodx this will help you understand how the system works. The more you know the better you can manage the system. All servers crash. I suggest you look for a way to restart your hlds server once it crashes. I wrote my own program to handle my servers but you might consider using one of the available dos batch files to restart yours. @echo off cls echo Protecting hlds from crashes... echo If you want to close hlds and this script, close this window and then close hlds title hlds.com Watchdog :hlds echo (%time%) hlds started. start /wait hlds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 echo (%time%) WARNING: hlds closed or crashed, restarting. goto hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
