Since v1.06 of ogsWatcher, I have not had any problems with server restarts at all, whilst running Mani-Admin. Since the latest CSS update, my server has been crashing a hell of a lot (due to custom maps, etc), however ogsWatcher comes through every time and restarts it.
If I issue an RCON QUIT, or even QUIT on the console itself, ogsWatcher springs into life, and restarts that sucker quicker than you can say "please restart my srcds instance ogsWatcher coz you are really cool and you seem to be able to do it within the predetermined time located in the config file as I configured earlier, so thanks ogsWatcher, you're the best". I suggest you tweak and play with the timeout and restart count figures in your config file. I found a problem where I was setting my timeouts too low, and ogsWatcher was killing my srcds instance before it had finished loading. Also, in relation to this - I think there are also settings for terminating orphan srcds processes in the config somewhere, so playing with this might help too.

Here's what I found when I got to the physical location of the server. The ogsWatcher service was running, but no instance of srcds in the task manager and no error messages. I stopped the ogsWatcher service and then restarted it. Upon restart of the service it started one instance of srcds. Task manager verified that srcds was running. With that, the DoD server was up and running again. So my assumption that ogsWatcher would automatically restart an instance of srcds that was stopped using RCON quit appears to be wrong. However, that appears to be at odds with the way ogsWatcher should work. I thought that it would monitor for an instance of srcds and restart if it found none. I guess that's not so. -----Original Message----- From: Frazer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 5:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Mani and ogsWatcher My game servers run Mani and start with ogsWatcher just fine. I would try to start your game from a .bat file first to see if it starts with the version of Mani that you just installed.

Installed Mani Mod on my DoD server (remote install via FTP) and attempted to restart the server using Rcon quit instead of restart. I figured ogsWatcher would just restart the server. lol. I think I broke my own server. Any reason ogsWatcher won't restart a server running Mani... or is it more likely I installed the wrong Mani? -----Original Message----- From: Frazer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Mani Site Ahhh - let me clarify my earlier post: <irony> Actually, it *is* a DDoS attack - it's just that the perpetrator and the victims have reversed roles :) </irony> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [DumB]TeXas Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Mani Site No, it *is not* a DDoS attack however it does have the same effect in the end. A natural flow of people wanting to visit a forum or whatever is called an "unintentional attack" - even though it's not really any attack at all. It is certainly not a "distributed attack" where multiple compromised systems flood the bandwidth or resources of the targeted system. :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frazer Sent: 27. august 2006 14:44 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Mani Site Actually, it *is* a DDoS attack - it's just that the perpetrator and the victims have reversed roles :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whisper Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 11:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Mani Site -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Actually its better, cause theres nothing illegal going on, its all legitamate.
