Hi, this was part of my reply to your post, but it was a bit of an essay, so reposting it here:
Can't fork any more than 5, because for some weird reason each server listens on 3 UDP ports. If the first server is on port 27015, it also grabs ports 27020 and 27005, among others. So if we try to spawn a 6th server, it'll try to use 27020 as well, and fail. Trying to spawn an additional group of 5 sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. In addition, I've just tried to start up another, non-forked, server, and it's dying as follows: WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: unable to bind socket WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: unable to bind socket Couldn't allocate any hltv IP port Being started with: ./srcds_run -nomaster -norestart -ip 84.244.189.89 -netconport 9999 -port 27095 ----------------------------------------------------------- Server.cfg is: echo "Executing server.cfg" hostname 127001.org - L4D demo (Private) sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 sv_search_key localhost sv_password 127lh rcon_password "shabang" setpause 0 sv_lan 0 sv_pausable 0 sv_region 3 sv_pure 0 sv_pure_kick_clients 1 sv_contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Rate Settings sv_mincmdrate 66 sv_maxcmdrate 101 // start cvars for communication sv_voiceenable 1 // allow players to use a microphone. 0 is off 1 is on sv_alltalk 1 // toggles whether both teams can hear each others voice comms or not. 0 is off 1 is on. recommend it being off // end cvars for communication sv_downloadurl "http://dl.127001.org/mods/l4d"; //redirect download location // Logging settings sv_logbans 1 sv_logfile 0 sv_logecho 1 sv_logflush 1 log on ----------------------------------------------- Netstat -naup is: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27008 0.0.0.0:* 27986/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27009 0.0.0.0:* 9061/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27010 0.0.0.0:* 8610/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27011 0.0.0.0:* 27562/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27012 0.0.0.0:* 4988/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27013 0.0.0.0:* 21952/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27014 0.0.0.0:* 22080/srcds_i486 udp 110384 0 84.244.189.89:27015 0.0.0.0:* - udp 1904 0 84.244.189.89:27016 0.0.0.0:* 12882/srcds_i486 udp 736 0 84.244.189.89:27017 0.0.0.0:* 24123/srcds_i486 udp 304 0 84.244.189.89:27018 0.0.0.0:* 27986/srcds_i486 udp 1216 0 84.244.189.89:27019 0.0.0.0:* 9061/srcds_i486 udp 1520 0 84.244.189.89:27020 0.0.0.0:* - udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27021 0.0.0.0:* 12882/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27022 0.0.0.0:* 24123/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27023 0.0.0.0:* 27986/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27024 0.0.0.0:* 9061/srcds_i486 udp 304 0 84.244.189.89:27025 0.0.0.0:* 8610/srcds_i486 udp 1040 0 84.244.189.89:27026 0.0.0.0:* 27562/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27027 0.0.0.0:* 27562/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27028 0.0.0.0:* 4988/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26901 0.0.0.0:* 4988/srcds_i486 udp 7904 0 84.244.189.89:27029 0.0.0.0:* 4988/srcds_i486 udp 1472 0 84.244.189.89:27030 0.0.0.0:* 21952/srcds_i486 udp 14720 0 84.244.189.89:26902 0.0.0.0:* 12882/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26903 0.0.0.0:* 27986/srcds_i486 udp 1520 0 84.244.189.89:27031 0.0.0.0:* 21952/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26904 0.0.0.0:* 24123/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27032 0.0.0.0:* 8610/srcds_i486 udp 304 0 84.244.189.89:27033 0.0.0.0:* 22080/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26905 0.0.0.0:* 12882/srcds_i486 udp 304 0 84.244.189.89:26906 0.0.0.0:* - udp 3040 0 84.244.189.89:27034 0.0.0.0:* 22080/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:52890 0.0.0.0:* 24068/named udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26907 0.0.0.0:* 8610/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26908 0.0.0.0:* 8610/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26909 0.0.0.0:* 22080/srcds_i486 udp 14720 0 84.244.189.89:26910 0.0.0.0:* 27562/srcds_i486 udp 14720 0 84.244.189.89:26911 0.0.0.0:* 9061/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26912 0.0.0.0:* 21952/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26913 0.0.0.0:* 27986/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:161 0.0.0.0:* 5219/snmpd udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:161 0.0.0.0:* 5219/snmpd udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26914 0.0.0.0:* 24123/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26915 0.0.0.0:* - udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26916 0.0.0.0:* 4988/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26917 0.0.0.0:* 21952/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26918 0.0.0.0:* 9061/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26919 0.0.0.0:* 22080/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:26920 0.0.0.0:* 27562/srcds_i486 udp 0 0 10.127.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 24068/named udp 0 0 84.244.189.90:53 0.0.0.0:* 24068/named udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:53 0.0.0.0:* 24068/named udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 24068/named udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27960 0.0.0.0:* 4341/q3ded udp 0 0 84.244.189.89:27962 0.0.0.0:* 4332/etded.x86 I'm about to try running the server with strace to see if I can figure out what's happening > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Green > Sent: 07 November 2008 19:23 > To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] CPU usage > > Hmmm - if I run with ./srcds_run -fork 20 +map > l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment, > I get 20 server processes (I can see them with ps x f). _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
