restart script [Linux] Restart Script for ExileMod

[Kugane 27]

I made a restart script for the Exile Mod internal restart function.

It looks into your logfile & if it found the "Exile Server: "SERVER READY FOR RESTART!!!" then,

it move your old logfile in a new folder sorted by YEAR/MONTH/DAY & rename the old logfile to log_HOUR/MINUTE. 

 

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64

crontab for automation

here is a pastebin link for easy copy [Linux] Restart Script for ExileMod 

 

I use it with LGSM arma3server: ARMA 3 Linux Server Manger

edit in "arma3server" (from LGSM the line 

57 ./arma3server >>${systemdir}/logs/log.rpt 2>&1

 

If you have any questions, ask me!

Updated the script for better log reading, & added the start script that i'm used (@xunin enjoy it!)

[WD-40 25]

Unfortunately this script doesnt want to read busy log files on my ubuntu server. 

I use https://github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm and crontab with restart command every 3 h. 

And php scripts to announce restarts.

thx 4 the hint!, i have only logfiles à 100mb & these works fine.

i updated the script & now it works with a max. filesize at 3.4gb on 32bit distribution & a lot more on 64bit distro's

If you want restart every 6hrs you can use crontab -e

0 0,6,12,18 * * * /home/exile2esseker/arma3server/serverfiles/./script.sh restart

and the script i use

armaserver: ArmA 3 Linux Dedicated Server Control Script

http://pastebin.com/Zq0kt0xS

The nice thong about it it clears logs once every week and keep the server going

Edited September 11, 2015 by nark0t1k

[WD-40 25]

did you enter your server file and config details in reboot.sh?

Did u do chmod +x reboot.sh?

 /home/arma3/./reboot.sh why there is a dot between arma3 and reboot.sh?

can you link the source script ?

or test your script is right edited with, ./reboot.sh check

 /home/arma3/./reboot.sh why there is a dot between arma3 and reboot.sh?

this is the crontab, but i don't know if the syntax correct.

I would make it so

0 */6 * * * sh /home/arma3/reboot.sh restart

Personally I use LGSM, once set up correctly all you have to do is "arma3server restart", that is, if you use the default script name. If your configs are right the server will warn, autolock and then kick all, right before your cron job "0 */3 * * * /home/arma/arma3server restart" fires and restarts the server.

in a few days (hopefully) i poste my linux how to + download of a modified version of lgsm

[Khazaztroph 2]

LGSM is nice if you are new to linux and want a easy setup. you can still use the bin/bash script.

If you read at the bottom you have following commands you can use with the script to check if everything is working or if the server is on.

start | stop | restart | status | check | log

so run the sh file like ./script.sh check
