[Shinobi]

For restart, something like:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:start_server
echo Starting server
DEUSEX.EXE COMMAND HERE
GOTO start_server

Doesn't save the old logs though.

I don't care about logs. Thanks again.

Any way to run DX ded server as a system process?? I know there's a way to do it with certain Quake 2 servers, and Freelancer servers.

Basically I want server to start on windows startup and run in the tray, no windows. Possible?

I think it should be possible with a 3rd party tool. Try something like this.

If you all you want is to run the server at Windows startup, you may simply drag-n-drop the .bat files (or shortcuts to them) to the Start menu > Programs > Autorun.

Cheers Dae I'll have a fiddle with that

Wait,.... that isn't released

Oh my god, sorry, I was trying to find a program which I had already used (it was a VB based wrapper) but forgot the name, and at first glance that page seemed to be it. Try searching yourself, can't recommend anything until I remember what was that program called.
