Ivantis: Restart servers and reconnect to the master list automatically

Restart servers and reconnect to the master list automatically

New page

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:
 <code>#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
$checkline = `ps -e | grep your username | grep dedicated | grep -v grep`; 
unless ($checkline =~ /armagetronad-dedicated/) 
system "whatever you use to start your server -d >/dev/null 2>&1 &"; 
} 
</code>
 
Of course changing your username and whatever you use to start your server 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 
<code>$ chmod a+x /path/to/it.pl</code> 
so you can execute it, and add the crontab 
<code>* * * * * /path/to/it</code>. 
Then, when you get this to work, add or change in settings_dedicated.cfg 
<code>DEDICATED_IDLE #</code> 
# being the number of hours before restarting.
 Someone should really re-write this, its a little confusing.
