[RELEASE] Monitor a process & reLaunch it if it is not running - log everything

mgm · August 30, 2014

Hi guys,

We had a "shutdown the server and relaunch it" script (which was found on this forums - thanks to all posted/improved it) which was working perfect for over 2 months now.

However on first such occurence I realized that if the server crashes unexpectedly, our solution (BEC) will not be able to restart itself so we needed some external monitoring & intervention to check & relaunch it when necessary.

FireDaemon and its friends are nice and all but (1) I don't want an additional software license to pay for and (2) I do not wish to maintain another software with future updates etc. so I wrote this basic Windows BATCH script which seems to be doing the job. I will update the post if I find issues and/or improve it in any way.

This batch script monitors:

( 1 ) a configurable Windows executable

( 2 ) by checking every N seconds

( 3 ) if it is found to be NOT RUNNING, it patiently waits for a configurable N seconds amount of time (to ensure it's not double launched)

( 4 ) if monitoredApp is still not running reLaunches it

( 5 ) and writes everything to a log file for admin review

( 6 ) and if debug=1 is configured also prints this information into the Windows cmd (console) window so that we can see what's going on without checking any log files

Hope it helps someone else save some time... Please post any questions/comments/improvements here.

Thanks

Due to overwhelming response from you guys [ :P ] I'm sharing below my latest addition to this.

The script in post #1 monitors & relaunches arma2oaserver.exe if it ever crashes unexpectedly. It's doing its job fine.

My next problem was it kept creating a new instance of itself every time game server had a scheduled auto restart - now I'm using the code bit below, in an EXE compiled version of the code below.

This exe is executed as the last line of my "relaunch_game_server.bat" batch script which is executed three hours.

You can get free AutoHotkey from www.autohotkey.com

Sleep, 10000  ; 10 seconds

Runwait, taskkill /im cmd.exe
Sleep, 2000  ; 2 seconds

Runwait, taskkill /im cmd.exe
Sleep, 2000  ; 2 seconds

Run, "C:\dayz_mod_server\__tool.script.restart_batch_script\LaunchIfNotRunning.bat", , min
return

This can be useful indeed, altho I think it's more of a resource than server mod. But that's not important, thanks for sharing this.
