auto restart dos not work

[rashmandash]

Hi,

i have some trouble with the auto restart. It would be grate if someone could explain me in general how it works. In the epochhive/epochconfig file i set the serverrestart to "true" and set the timer. After the time is over i get a Massage in the logs: "server restart now" but nothing happens. I've red somthing about the BEC but this service seems to be down. Another thing i've red is to use a scheduler in combination with a batch file. But there are so many out in the WWW. i do not know which i should use or how to.

 

thanks for any help!!!

I'd also be interested in the answer to this. We have the scheduler set as follows:

<job id="0">

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<start>055500</start>

<runtime>000100</runtime>

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>say -1 THIS SERVER WILL RESTART IN 5 MINUTES</cmd>

</job>

<job id="1">

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<start>055900</start>

<runtime>000100</runtime>

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>say -1 THIS SERVER WILL RESTART IN 1 MINUTE</cmd>

</job>

<job id="2">

<day>1,2,3,4,5,6,7</day>

<start>060000</start>

<runtime>000100</runtime>

<loop>0</loop>

<cmd>#shutdown</cmd>

</job>

And more for the rest of the day, but the server only seems to restart 5% of the time.

This is what ive build so fare. It works for me ond hopefully also for others.

 

 

-create a bat file and name it restart.bat

-edit ur path. and ur params

-if u have no HC erase the HC lines.

-This will restart the server every 4 hours at the point u hit the "restart.bat"

[Buliwyf]

You really should read AND understand the ArmA 3 startup parameter wiki page.

 

After that you should think twice about your parameters.... ;)

[rashmandash]

Whats wrong? It works...  I adjust tadst and then copypaste the params.

And it would be more helpfull if u just say what u mean instead to post a link.

[Buliwyf]

This works too, but it is not the best practice...

 

For example -exThreads=12 will not take any effect, because a maximum of -exThreads=7 is possible by the engine. It has absolutly no learning effect to copy something from the internet by having no idea what you are doing... thats the reason why i gave you a link... simply to study... aaand you can`t say "it works" by having no idea what is going on... ;)

[rashmandash]

ive wrote this script. And played with the params so they are maybe not the best.

Every single person have to modify his params and folders. Like i said in the script.

And u didnt help me as i ask the first time for a restart script...

But it seams u have planty of knowleg about this thing.

So if u have a better way to auto restart a server be gental and help me and all the other people and post the better way u have.

->otherwise pls stop spamming.

How did this get on a BEC discussion?  The OP was talking about the built-in restart.  Doesn't seem to work for me and I have it set to true and 14,400 (4 hours) as well

[Fog Horn]

Imho , it doesn't work properly ,as I said when it was installed , and when it does work , it loses time , the example I gave works perfectly in scheduler.xml , and doesn't lose time ! Thats how . ;)

Dude read the BI website! EnableHT with cpucount= with exthreads= wtf? Maxmem 16GB lol.

I don't mean to be mean but that's uneducated over kill!

Also are you running the HC on the same host with the same launch parameters? You do know that arma 3 is not optimised for threads and cpu queuing? -high, set cpu affinity anyone?
