If it's a CS 1.6 server, start with this guide: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =46&t=4163. Step 5 talks about how to make it start automatically with the OS and tells you to edit a file with this command:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/conf.d/local.start

On CentOS, just use this instead:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/rc.local

As far as making the server auto-restart after a crash, the hlds_run script that Valve includes does this automatically.

cd /root/hlds
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -port 27018 +maxplayers 11 -pingboost 2

ok i did the one for cent os you posted didnt see that till after i posted let me see if its going to work now

[mateckz]

Okay now when i restart the box doesnt log in so i cant see any of the icons, not sure if its supposed to do that, also ventrilo is not auto restarting, and hlds is only maxplayering 6 slots


cd /root/hlds
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate -port 27015
+maxplayers 11 -pingboost 2

cd /root/ventrilo/ventsrv
./ventrilo_srv


thats what i did exactly

Two things:

* You didn't include the "screen" parts that the guide says to do. You need to do this, or put & on the end of the line, or the system will run it in the foreground and ignore the rest of the boot process.
* Your command line appears to have a return in the middle of it, so the maxplayers and pingboost parts are not getting read. You'll need to remove this.

dont do the -AmdS screenname correct cause when i tried it just in terminal it didnt work?

[mateckz]

ok i did the guide and no auto start when restarted sorry im being such a pain in the ass but im learning linux fast most of the stuff i can do right off the top of my head now, thanks to you, but this is something thats totally new to me and i followed the steps and something isnt right, i get the gui now, but no auto start just get at me as soon as you can thanks again

cd /root/hlds
screen chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +map de_inferno +maxplayers 11 &

cd /root/ventrilo/ventsrv
./ventrilo_srv &



there we go to make it easier

is that the right way?

[mateckz]

from that exact line the only thing working on restart is ventrilo is auto starting which is good cause that never worked before now just gotta get hte server too too hahaha

cd /root/hlds
screen chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate +map de_inferno +maxplayers 11 &

cd /root/ventrilo/ventsrv
./ventrilo_srv &

cd /root/hlds OR cd /hlds
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate -pingboost 2 +ip youriphere +port 27015 +map de_inferno +maxplayers 11 &


You don't need to use screen AND &, just one or the other. Only disadvantage of using & over the screen way is you can't open the terminal window back up. I've never found a reason why, but that's just me. Also, make sure sys_ticrate 1500 is in your server.cfg file.

[mateckz]

let me try that real quick

[mateckz]

still not working

cd /root/ventrilo/ventsrv
./ventrilo_srv &

cd /root/hlds
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate -pingboost 2 +port 27015 +maxplayers 11 &
