Windows 2000 Advanced Server, SP4 AMD Sempron 2400+. And before people start going whine whine lame cpu, it runs a full OP4 server (which only takes like 5% cpu if that) and a full L4D server at well under 40% cpu. More then enough cpu for what I do. The box sits on the floor under my desk. Centurytel DSL 10mbps/768mbps. More then enough bandwidth for what I do. Both servers maxed use about 512k upload, and no one complains about lag. Server rebooted yesterday afternoon (power failure). Worked just fine the rest of the day, all night, and this morning up to about 11am.
I checked logs - no record of people joining, just what appears to be the server executing quit and shutting down. And yes, it is a clean exit, not an abnormal termination that would leave the log file in an indeterminate condition. I've seen it happen several times - a few lines scroll on the console but it quits too fast for me to tells what it is saying. L 10/06/2009 - 15:03:40: server_message: "quit" L 10/06/2009 - 15:03:40: Log file closed So, the questions is, what is causing 'L 10/06/2009 - 15:03:40: server_message: "quit" '? It won't stay up more then five minutes now. I thought that maybe the power outage yesterday did it, but it worked fine for almost 24 hours afterwards. So I'm going to save my configs and do a clean install and start from scratch - who knows.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Somers" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 4:33 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D Crash exploit? > First: > What type of server? leased/Owned? remote colo? what level of access do > you have to it? > > Second: have you checked available resources on the server?
