What are some free tools or scripts that can restart a server when it crashes?

by **Gishank** » Tue Dec 06, 11 11:09 am

iirc, there's something in Nepthy's that can be used to restart it automatically.

The MIRK Server has something that does that, yesterday, one of the servers crashed when it was goin to DXMP_Command_Post and then somethin went wrong and switched to DXMP_Area51Bunker. Ask Brad

AFAIK there's a batch file in place.

Yeah i think nephthys was it

I don't think nephthys has that feature. Commercial game servers have software to bring a server back up after it has crashed.

I saw a tool somewhere called Deus Ex Server Restart Tool
Maybe on gravity-world or dxalpha

A simple bat file can restart a crashed server already.

I'm looking at my rented commercial game server and see no .bat file, so I wonder how they do it.
Can probably give Poor control panel access to have a look around if that is useful at all. No obligation to rent one

by **~ô¿ô~Nobody~** » Tue Jan 03, 12 4:30 pm

They have their own system running in the background.. one that guards the server processes, etc.

A .BAT file can be made as per these instructions (edit... I've lost the link, I'll add it asap), but customised for DX.

Or Nephthys has a function, IIRC.

Lots of ways.

Jeez, you guys don't seem to understand what I'm talking about. BAT files and Nephthys have nothing to do with what I wanted. There are a few applications that monitor a process and will restart the program if the process is terminated. That way the server will be restarted immediately after it crashes. I'll try some of the freeware and report back which is best.

The BAT file can actually do what you want, but only if you're able to execute BAT files. The BAT file basically automatically restarts the deus ex server when it crashes.
