That is standard procedure (AFAIK, we just took it over from the official packages) for servers installed via .deb packages.
OH... Strange because I never needed to meddle with them not that I needed to use them

I thought apt-get would prove simpler than ******* around with bzr...
I'll try again later on tonight.
I don't know what to say... it's easy but then there's the stupid security that often causes a problem in the latest ubuntu recently. Still, if you are building a server from deb, I am not much of a help. I generally download the servers using
Code: Select all
bzr branch lp:~armagetronad-ap/armagetronad/0.2.9-armagetronad-sty+ct+ap
and then using the instructions I wrote myself linked here:
Running Multiple Servers In a Single Ubuntu Computer.
I'm actually going to re-write the whole thing because that's much too old and I am now using a new method for installing my scripts to start and stop my servers.

LOGDIR=/var/log
# pidfile names.

STARTERPIDFILE=$PIDDIR/$NAME-starter.pid
MAINPIDFILE=$PIDDIR/$NAME.pid
# Logfile.
LOGFILE=$LOGDIR/$NAME.log
# Niceness level of the server.
NICENESS="-5"
So, regular file, edit the second line to activate.
Now that I have no clue about, really.
