Some good information on writing a script in Linux to restart frozen game servers can be viewed here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1379885
The author provides a German to English translated link for another script that also uses qstat. I found that the script syntax on the original German page works. original full text here: http://sourceserver.info/wiki/tutorial/server/response_check Overall an elegant solution using qstat, lsof and a list of servers to check I assume hlds_run/srcds was run to launch the game servers before running this script, watchdog_hl2.sh example watchdog_servers 123.123.123:27015 123.123.123:27016 [code] #!/bin/bash function init { if [ -z "`which lsof`" ]; then echo "lsof isn't installed"; return 1; fi if [ ! -f ~/qstat ]; then echo "qstat isn't installed"; return 1; fi if [ ! -f ~/watchdog_servers ]; then echo "~/watchdog_servers doesn't exists"; return 1; fi return 0 } function not_response { ~/qstat -a2s $1 -nh -timeout 20 | egrep -q 'no response|DOWN' } function get_pid { lsof -i 4udp@${1} | cut -d ' ' -f2 | tail -n 1 } function parse_list { cat watchdog_servers | tr -d \r } function kill_dead_server { echo -en "Testing -> $1\t\t\t" if not_response $1; then pid=`get_pid $1` [[ -z "$pid" ]] && echo "[Not Running]" [[ ! -z "$pid" ]] && kill $pid && echo "[Restarted]" else echo "[OK]" fi } init || exit for server in `parse_list`; do kill_dead_server $server done [/code] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
