I don't understand completely how this process is set up. Do you have an automatic restart set up through a script to have the server restart on a daily, or other increment? I know my servers are set up in cron to restart each day at 5 am and the easiest way to pull the PID is to do: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ps -ef | grep screen | grep "whatever you title your screen session as" | grep -v grep | awk '(print $2 )' > counterstrike.pid ps -ef pulls all running processes, the pipe means we are going to do something with that command, the next thing we do is grep for screen sessions, then we grep for the screen session that you saved the game as, then grep -v removes the grep that we are doing at the moment, and finally the awk command will take the second piece of output (which is the PID), and prints it out - this will give you the PID for the screen session. If you want you can roll that all up in a script, chmod it so that it can be run executably, and then through it in your crontab to run hourly, daily, etc. Keep us updated on how it goes. ; ) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
