Server restarter/unfreezer tool?

Post by Skw »

Is there any tools which restarts the server if it crashes and if the server freezes, the tool terminates the process and restarts the server?

I've been using my own command-line based tool which can restart the server but my tool doesn't regonize if the server freezes.

A tool for Unreal or a global game server tool.

it's kind of lame how it checks for freezing since sometimes it gives false positives.. but its a windowez function

http://www.klankaos.com/process%20manager.exe

I coded it because I was bored, no manual or anything though. It may toss some strange errors at you if you do something really stupid, but for the most part its fine

iirc you need .net framework 1.1 or 2.0

edit: if you dont want the log to timestamp don't even list the filepath for it, and don't check the box

Thank you, I tried that but I need little more. If you can code little, please do next:

1. "Start in tray" setting
2. Saves "Restart on crash" checkbox setting and "Freeze Timeout" setting (not saving = bug?)
3. A setting which lets to change the priority of the process (Low, Normal, High, Realtime)
4. If the server crashes, the tool makes a copy of server's logfile to somewhere I want, and it renames copied logfile to something I want, and the tool adds date and time to the copied logfile

Otherwise it's fine tool. I hope you have time to figure those out.

What... you leave your sourcecodes in the reach of others but potentially out of your own...? //me shakes head in bewilderment//

VB.net in vs 2003, theres some windows process creating/checking functions I used, which is why the process freeze check sucks. Its the same one that they use on the task manager i believe

You could try sending windows message to process and check 4 response. Whatever.

You can always disassemble .NET programs:

You (and everyone else) can get all your code with that :P

Me too. Ok, mostly web scripts, but it's a good idea anyway. :P
