I have 2 unmanaged VDS' (both run Windows Server 2008) and run a few CoD4 servers. Is it possible to have the gameserver generate a new log file on the gameserver's nightly reboot?
The thing is that I'd like to download the games_mp.log file via FTP but it says request denied. This is probably because the gameserver or b3 is reading the file. I want to check a thing or two from last night logs and the only way I can do so now is to stop the server, move (or download) the file and let it generate a new log file upon server restart.
I previously had linux gameservers with a different host and that was done automatically. Hoping this can be done as well on Windows.
By the way, I also use FireDaemon, if any of you know this can be done through there.
Thanks!

You could stop the service, rename the file to something else, and then start the service again through a batch file (or more complicated script) configured as a scheduled task. You also may be able to download the existing file while the server is running by copying it to another one first.
