Restarting Unmanaged Servers

[Awesomenessman12]

Hello,
I am just wondering if you can give me some code or a program so when my server says stopped responding or it crashes that it will restart by itself!

Thanks!

Game servers? Or windows? Linux? srcds or other?

[Awesomenessman12]

Well i would be running it on my vds. It has windows 2008 on it

[soja]

Do you want to reboot the VDS itself, or a game server on the vds? If a game server, what kind?

[Awesomenessman12]

It is just the gameservers! It would be for garrys mod. We also run the servers of bat files not the srcds. When it crashes I would like it to restart by its self

[soja]

Thanks for finally telling me what for -.-

This .bat file would auto restart your server after a crash:

Code: Select all

echo off
cls
echo SRCDS auto restart
title Garry's Mod auto restart
:srcds
echo (%time%) SRCDS started.
start /wait srcds.exe -game your +maxplayers command +map line
echo (%time%) Your server just closed or crashed. RESTARTING!
goto srcds

start /wait srcds.exe -game your +maxplayers command +map line -console
needs to be your own startup line.

You cannot simulate a crash using the "x" on the console window, instead type quit in the console(or rcon quit).

So Even if it "stops working" will it auto restart

you need -nocrashdialog and then yes.

I personally use Firedaemon to run all of our servers. It is friggin phenomenal.

I used windows task scheduler for my hlstats daemons.

It checked every minute for the process, and restarted it if need be.
