ish chatlogs?
Holas, i have a humble request.
Is there any chance i can get a copy of the Arma-ish chat logs from last night. from about 4am-8am eastern time. I had a good chat with GOD about the end of the world, and the fallacies of the BUSH regime, and i like to read it in case any of it actually made sense.
thx.

Does redirecting the stdout to a file do anything to the lag of a game? (I'm running 2.7).
My shell script that I use to kick off the server kills and previously running tails, then I run tail on the file in the background, then the server starts redirecting stdout to the file that's being tailed.
That way, I can see the contents of the stdout, while it's being generated (I tried tee, and I couldn't get it to append on a new server run, only to overwrite and start over).
So I'm able to keep a log of everything.
I can post my shell script if anyones curious about.

What I do is redirect the output to a log file. Before I restart the game, I just cp that log file to somewhere else, then restart the game, again redirecting it to the same log file. A poor man's log rotate. I don't ever tail any of it, unless I'm personally taililng it, so I can monitor the game.
I don't have that automated because I first look to see why the game went down. I have different names for the log archives if they went down because I simply chose to restart, because of the linux bind bug, or because of ripping/abuse. I suppose I could have a script check to see if the players.txt file is empty, and if's not, cp it to the abuse archives. But I frankly prefer to leave the game off for a while if someone ripped it down.

what is a ghetto-name rotation.llaffer2 wrote: to do a ghetto-name rotation.
do the log file get name like scar and big and kiki (if your from the ghetto and your nick is kiki and your still alive, your VERY big)
is there a rapper script that drives around the folders and drive-by shoot some of the older logs?
You have to tell me.

In a ghetto, I'd get a lame nick too. But not because I'm strong or big or smart.
Canis meus id comedit.

I'm talking about occasionally manually renaming my arm.out file to a arm.20041105.out file so I can maintain multiple days, weeks, months logs without keeping one big-ass file continually building.
But now that I think of it, I can have the start of my script do that for me, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. So it won't be so ghetto.
