Restart The Server NGD!!!

[_Meldanen_]

With the server going down shortly after you leave the office it's a pain for users in another timezone
Isn't there a way to use another process to watch the game and restart accordingly? Or just restart every 2 hours during the night until the server is somewhat stable

yeah like a automatic restart or something. that would help

there is an auto restart feature in place of course... the only problem is that it is not compatible with the debugging tool we are using to find the bug responsible for the crash in the first place...

we just need to be patient... we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

most easy auto restart feaure, and compatible with debug tool:

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
   ./regnum_server
   sleep 60
done

or if you have some ping tool:

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
   if ./regnum_server_pinger
   then
      kill `cat regnum_server.pid`
      # wait for process close
      ./regnum_server_starter
   fi  
   sleep 60
done
