screen killing the server?

[superkikim]

Hi.

I use GNU Screen for my arma servers. It works quite well, however, for an unknown reason, it kills the process after some hours, sometimes two or three days...

I have no clue why ! Would anyone know why ?

Cheers

Use DEDICATED_IDLE 0 if you want your server to run forever without quitting, or, better, launch them from a shell script that runs it over and over again.

I have to create a script which launch screen which launch arma in a loop ...

RIght now, my script launch screen which launch directly arma...

Will do that next week.

Tx for the advice.

PS: Can you please just give me the trick for a loop ? I use bash.

Sure, it's easy:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
   armagetronad-dedicated "$*"
done

The $* passes all arguments of the script to arma.

Hi all,

Finally, I have sorted this out. As stated on another post, I've posted a guide on the Wiki:
