Send screen command on a scripted server

[dukevin]

I start my server with this script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

tron="/home/duke/aa/bin/armagetronad-dedicated"
var="/home/duke/aa/servers/demo/var/"
log="${var}console_log.txt"
userconfigdir="/home/duke/aa/servers/demo/var/customize/config/"
parser="/home/duke/aa/scripts/parser.php"
ladderlog="${var}ladderlog.txt"
cmds="${var}cmd.txt"
	
tail -n0 -f -s 0.01 $ladderlog | $parser | (while true; do $tron --userconfigdir $userconfigdir --vardir $var; done)| tee -a $log

(thanks jip)

However, I can no longer send commands to the server via GNU screen like I used to with

Code: Select all

screen -dmS $1 /home/duke/aa/scripts/srv $1

Any way to get this functionality back?

echo "say hi" >> $cmds

You can even make a fake server console…

Code: Select all

LOG_FILE=...
COMMANDS_FILE=...

# Display the log
tail -n0 -f "$LOG_FILE" &
trap "kill $!" EXIT

# Read input
while read -e line
do
    echo "$line" >> "$COMMANDS_FILE"
done

That's very neat dlh, but I'm only using

tail -n0 -f -s 0.01 $ladderlog | $parser | (while true; do $tron --userconfigdir $userconfigdir --vardir $var; done)| tee -a $log

I have utilized the cmds file yet. Is there a way to do this without the cmds file?

[dlh]

Is there some issue with running the parser and server separately? (with parser writing to some commands file)

Read the ct wiki and got this set up (2 screen sessions).

I'm tried the fake screen and it worked perfectly thanks
