View source for Server auto restart

Ok, for a while after I started my own server, I needed it to restart every so often, to avoid lagginess, and to recconect to the master list. So I asked Avl.:C10ud (ianthetechie) for some help. Use this script he gave me:
<br><code>#!/usr/bin/perl -w<br><br>$checkline = `ps -e | grep dedicated | grep -v grep`;<br>unless ($checkline =~ /armagetronad-dedicated/) {<br> system "<i>whatever you use to start your server</i> -d >/dev/null 2>&1 &";<br>}</code>
<br><br>
Of course changing <i>your username</i> and <i>whatever you use to start your server</i> correctly. I edited this code slightly, if you are using BSD you may need to change "ps -e" to "ps auxwww".
Now, save this somewhere, do <br>
<code>$ chmod a+x /path/to/it.pl</code><br>
so you can execute it, and add the crontab<br>
<code>0-59 * * * * /path/to/it</code>.<br>
Then, when you get this to work, add or change in settings_dedicated.cfg<br>
<code>DEDICATED_IDLE <i>#</i></code><br>
<i>#</i> being the number of hours before restarting.
<br><br>Someone should really re-write this, its a little confusing.
