Preventing automatic server LOGOUTS and RESTARTS **Help**

Post by 512sentinel »

Problem: The server at some point in the night logged off or restarted. This of course causes the exe that runs my server to close. I have read other post online saying this was a user group related issue. So what I did was change the setting so that it would not log out to inactivity, and i disabled auto updates and sometimes it causes a restart.. I think i may have changed settings correctly but I am not 100% positive.

I just want to make sure that the file is always running. Does anyone know if there is a step I may have missed or some things I may not be aware of? My goal is to eliminate any downtime on my part as i am unaware if this happens while i sleep.

Thank you for any help you offer!

It would be best to run your server as a service to make it so you don't have to be logged in (either through Firedaemon or another tool such as NSSM).

In terms of your current configuration, though, Windows may provide some clues in its system log, so I recommend taking a look there first.
