It's driving me mad, I can't find the log files, i'm not even totally sure whats loged these days but i'm looking mostly for the score ladder, and if it exists ip addresses and chat logs, does anyone know where to find these in linux, or atleast what they might be called so i can run a search? I also would like some info on cronjobs while we're at it.

There's only one log, and only one way it happens. You have to redirect the output of the armagetronad-dedicated process to a file, and *that* is your log. It has everything in it.

If you run it under certain conditions (like I do), then you get logged into syslog. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

For cron, google "crontab", learn whatever you can about it, then come back and ask specific questions.

look for the var/ directory. that has your ladders and a basic scorelog of who killed who...

The var directory Tank is referring to is inside ~/.armagetronad in Unix.

But it all depends how you run the server. There are three ways:
1) Build it and run it from the directory of the build. Then, the var directory is right there.
2) Build it and install it ( make install ), or install it via RPM. Start it with "armagetronad-dedicated" from anywhere, best from a "screen" virtual session. Then, all data is in ~/.armagetronad.
3) Like 2), but use the system init/exit scripts from /usr/local/armagetronad/rc.d ( like /usr/local/armagetronad/rc.d/... start ). Then, the standard output will already be logged to a file in /var/log/armagetronad/.
