Server Restart?
Server Restart?
I own a dedicated server which I hosted an Armagetron server on it for a friend of mine, so I was just wondering, is there anyway I could give him access to restart it without giving him root user?
is it possible to restart it in-game, is there any web-based thing that could hook up the stop/start commands into the server?
my server is Windows Server 2008, thanks.
note: I host Counter Strike:Source servers for myself so I know that it is possible to restart the entire server by just accessing the admin console in-game and typing "quit" which I setup a script for whenever that happens it automatically re-runs the server, isn't there a way to do so with Armagetron to?
Thanks again

Have him set DEDICATED_IDLE to 0 then empty the server of all players. :P

Re: Server Restart?
Yes, and in precisely the same way There is a console command named "quit" or "exit" (both work) that shut down the server, and if you run it in a batch file loop, it will restart again. You just need to give your friend ingame admin access (via ADMIN_PASS for the published stable versions).nizoo wrote:note: I host Counter Strike:Source servers for myself so I know that it is possible to restart the entire server by just accessing the admin console in-game and typing "quit" which I setup a script for whenever that happens it automatically re-runs the server, isn't there a way to do so with Armagetron to?
ok so I give him the ADMIN_PASS, then he would just need to type quit in there? whats the exact command since he couldn't find it
cuz lets say in Counter Strike it would be first, rcon_password "passwordinhere", then rcon "quit"/"exit" or any other command that need to be ran thru console...
happy to hear that its possible at least

You know... you could also make a batch script... and put it in the folder with armagetron_dedicated.exe
^^^ That works for me.
Code: Select all
:StartServer
START /WAIT armagetronad_dedicated.exe
GOTO StartServer
