Linux Server Shutting Down Issue.

[Phased 0]

Hey,

Has anyone else had a problem with shutting a Linux server down?

I am running Ubuntu on a VPS (I know its not recommended, but it is only for a few friends, most of the time it will only be 2 people on). 

As the server stays on for longer, the time it takes to shutdown increases. And by that, its been on for about 15 hours, and its not shutdown yet after 20-30 mins.

 

Does anyone know a fix other then using a restart script? As I do not have BE enabled just yet, as I don't feel like fixing all the BE Kicks.

EDIT: Just after pressing submit, the server started to actually shutdown, as soon as I press CTRL + C, players are kicked, and you cant join, just the server is still running, and hangs at EPE Manager release

if its just for your friends use blank BE filters = change all 7 to 1.

I got the filters to work, decided it was time to learn it and was surprised how easy it was, took probably a hour to get them all working.

 

Found the RCON part in the exile_server_config.pbo, going to try that to see if it works, I assume it does, otherwise it probably would of had a comment saying it currently did not work. Still waiting for it to be time to restart to see how it goes.

 

If that does not work, I will try and work out how to use Torndeco's extDB2 RCON extension, but not really sure where to call the start up call for RCON from.

maybe an oldschool autostart script controlled via cron? (if i get you right u dont like to use "rcon" addicted scripts)
Give me a hint and i can send you my modified "old but gold" Arma2 autostart script (including a watchdog).
