Simple BEC question

[gh0stpirate]

Hey guys, trying hard to find out the problem, checked, triple checked directories etc. ran my "restart.bat" by itself, doesnt throw any errors and functions.

Everything functions perfectly except for starting back up. it shuts down on schedule but doesn't start back up :(

 

Here are the included configs, used UEP BEC installer. Happy with default schedule.

 

scheduler.xml= http://pastebin.com/W4kW2cr6

 

contents of my start.bat= http://pastebin.com/i2sNySne

 

contents of my restart.bat= http://pastebin.com/GL3mWyga

 

Everything regarding BEC, battleye etc are completely default to my knowledge, i dont like bec, so i havent messed with it. i just want my 3 hr restarts :)

Add a sleep to the start of your restart.bat and launch it before you run #shutdown.

I'm going to let it run overnight to make sure, but i think it worked!! thank you so much! does the creator of UEP BEC installer know that his default schedule.xml isn't working anymore?

[gh0stpirate]

Well, actually, its not all good. for some reason, its not killing the old server process, woke up to find 2 instances running :/ the problem has got to be in one of the batch files! anyone have any clues?

[Scaramanga]

On my phone now so reading the xml and cmds is a bitch. You sure you didn't forgot to edit one of the restarts? Anyways it is also a good idea to kill your server process with taskkill in the restart script after a while just in case.

How long is the delay in your cmd and the xml? If the restart script kills BEC before #shutdown is ran you'll get problems.

[Scaramanga]

Also I suggest you use uptime to schedule your restarts instead of doing it at certain times. You'll get less xml config and avoid server restarts after short uptime if the last restart was not planned.

i double checked the schedule.xml, all are edited. I'd love to use uptime, really don't care when it restarts, so long as it does. Im liking the 3 hour mark. could you post your xml perhaps? thank you so much for the help thus far man, appreciate it.

 

i cant stand this stuff :/ once this is working, ill never open it again lmao

 

EDIT: my delay is 15 secs in startup, and 10 seconds in restart. timed it a few times, leaves lots of headroom.

Links with spaces confuses BEC. Avoid them.

[ElDubya]

I use the #restart command rather than the #shutdown one. I wasn't sure if #shutdown would also start it back up.
