I just had another forked server goin mental on me. I tried the SIGKILL and SIGINT commands but they don't work (command not found). Where am I suppose to execute these commands?

It will also kill the fork as well. SIGKILL should be used as a last resort if SIGINT (standard kill) doesn't do anything. With regards to -debug and -fork, I have a Perl script that I run alongside srcds_run to achieve desired behavior. I need to re-write this to be more portable so that it can be shipped. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of riemers Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 11:49 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine I've seen a process with 100% too, i've also seen a server which was full for like 2 hours on the same map. At that point i check it out, and it seemed the 4 survivor bots where playing against the infected bots, over and over again. Somehow still pretty funny..
