Problem with restarter.pl

[Sporny]

I have some Problems with my restarter.pl!

 

When i run it, its running in a loop.

Server is online for about 2 minutes, then he restarts again.

 

I've added my restarter.pl ;)

correct me if im totaly wrong here but as far as i remember the linux server wont restart at all if you dont run the restarter.pl manually.

keeping that in mind, do you have a crontab or something like that that runs the restarter.pl manually?

Could you post your dumb.log? I guess there is a problem that lets your server crash and restarts afterwards.

it just restarts in a loop if i run the restarter.pl ;)

 

In a crontab and if i run it manually...

the server is runnig without any problems... only the restarter.pl doesnt work

[Swordsworn]

i just compared your restarter pl with mine

the only difference i found is at line 17

 

yours = unless (-f PATH.'server') {

mine = unless (-f PATH.'epoch') {

 

to be honest, I dont really know what exactly it does but as far as i know it handles the start, or better, the processes of the server in general.

So thats being said, this could be a solution, but this a totaly blind shot into the blue ;>

[Sporny]

if i change it to 'epoch' it cant find server binaries.... its because i start the server with this line (in epoch.sh):

 

./server -mod="@dayzoverwatch;@dayz_epoch;@dayz_epoch_server;" -config="cfgdayz/server.cfg" -cfg="cfgdayz/basic.cfg" -port=2302 -beta="expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion" -noSound -noPause -world=Chernarus -profiles=cfgdayz -name=cfgdayz -cpucount=2 -exThreads=3 -showscripterrors -pid=2302.pid 2>&1 | ./writer.pl

Okay.... if i start the restarter.pl manually, it works.... just when the crontab ist active it restarts in a loop.... i will try to find the answer in the other "automatic restart"-thread ;)

Yes, then yo have set the times wrong in your crontab

Please post the line bvut I expect that you've configured it to restart every 2 minute ;))

aaaaye :D i feel like i heard something like that before ;>

 

crontab -e looks like this for me

 

 

# m h  dom mon dow   command

 

0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /home/epoch/serverdownloads/epoch/restarter.pl

 

 

in your case the very first number should be the interesting thing :)
