if your server will autorestart (best way is to make it as a shell script imho) then just do an rcon quit and it will shut down the server, then your shell script will pop it back up.
my shell script for doing so is thus: #!/bin/sh while true; do ./hlds_run -game cstrike ........ done so then if i want to bounce a server, I just rcon quit and walla kev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Garner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 8:34 PM Subject: Re: Again: [hlds_linux] trouble with restart... | From: "Angus Macgyver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | > Sorry to insist Simon and Omer, but I do not have access anymore to the | > shell nor to the scripts.
