AFAIK they are all clean halflife installations with only cs running (this is not hl2 with cs source)
The strange thing is that it all works fine for a few times if i delete the clientregistry.blob file, but then after a while the crashes start appearing again.. The way my system works is that a user on my web site "books" a server for a certain period of time. When that is done, a column is added to an sql database. A cron script on the master cluster server reads that sql table, and if there is a new booking to be made, launches a server on one of the nodes as a job submitted to the cluster. If the booking time for the server has went out, the server is shut down by the master server, ie, it terminates the submitted job. Does the hlds server need to quit gracefully in order for it to work properly the next time it's started? I mean, does hlds recover badly from crashes? I don't know how sun grid engine works internally.. if it kills hlds properly or not (i think it does). I also have a script that updates everything to the latest versions, which i run regularly. Still, i want it to work properly the normal way. > Im no expert but it sounds like a bad plugin, what addons do you have on > that server? > > Jonathan wrote: >> Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( >> >> I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: >> >> ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD >> >> What can be causing this?
