automatic server restart-help

Post by +FEAR+EPIC »

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to have a vps server so that if it crashes at any time, it will restart on its own without anyone needing to manually restart it.If so please tell me how.

Do you mean that you have a game server on a VPS that is crashing? If so, I'd recommend running it as a service with a program like FireDaemon. Alternately, some clients use another system called ServerChecker, that you might try.

On top of this, if you have a HL1 / Source / Orangebox / L4D / L4D2 server, make sure to run it with the "-nocrashdialog" option on its command line.

Its tricky to find but you have to go to their forums as that page isnt maintained, just a good run through for info.
