Linux restart script

[marcmarder161 3]

First, I apologize for my english, but lets continue... The script can be used for every server available out there. This is my restart script and I thought I better share it, to save you guys some time. No Crontab needed here... The script runs in a loop continuous checking whether the server is started or not. You can see the output when you type screen -r or screen -r YOURSCREENNAME When you don't know what the application screen is, don't make a server

T H I N G S    T O    D O:

• make sure that your restart script is set to shutdown the server after *your restart time*
  • exile_server_config > restart   OR
  • infistart config > restart
  • the server have to shutdown so the script knows that it should re-start the server
• chmod +x restart.sh (basicly make it executable)
  • VVVVVVVVVVVV better you make a second script that executes this script like this VVVVVVVVVVVV
  • Dont forget to make it execuable

screen -dmS armaserver ./restart.sh

 

• make sure you modify your server parameters in the script
• make sure you modify all strings @ the start of the script
• do not remove #bin/bash !!!!!!!!!!!!
• If you want help, provide all information you can get
• i am open for suggestions or edits
• Read all instruction in the file
• remove the curl "" part or install the app Simplepush (android) to get notifiyed when your server doing something

Any suggestions for another scripts?

Solves for problems that could occour:

• Make sure all files / directorys are owned by the user
• DO NOT USE ROOT ffs
• All paths are right
• The current user have enough rights
