Leave the service in manual mode vs automatic. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Sando Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 3:32 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] ogsRcon Beta available for download
I agree with Frazer on this one. When I need to get in to see what my server is doing, I use RDP. VNC still isn't a true KVM solution, so instead of adding this on top of Windows, I would prefer to use what's built in. If you have the money, use a IP based KVM solution :) In terms of ogsRCON, this app is simply a way to admin your server remotely WITHOUT having to use either RDP or VNC (or any alternative). The below is what I schedule to run at 4am every morning to perform the HLDS Update Tool: @echo off d:\scripts\ogsRCon 202.58.54.105 27015 <pwd> "quit" 2 net stop "POON SRCDS" start /WAIT d:\hlds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir d:\hlds sleep 120 net start "POON SRCDS" I've tried a few combinations of stop/starting the server, and this seems to work the best. My only problem, is that if I omit the sleep statement in the batch file, The SRCDS service tries to start back up half-way through the hldsupdatetool running. Even if I remove the 'start' command, it still does it. If anyone has any suggestions to fix this, then that would be greatly appreciated. I think I may have to code it in vbscript and just leave it at that.

On the other topic, I prefer RDP, only because its what I am used to and because its all built in to Windows (both on Windows Server and XP). No additional downloads or installations and security is good and integrated. Frazer --------------------------------------------------- "Listen to others thoughtfully and reflect on what is said.

I only use VNC if I have to look at the console for some reason, which is rare. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by Hostworks Message Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.
