Lol, I had to write the same thing 2 years ago. Mine also watches the memory usage and restarts the server when it goes too high (because of leaks), has users threshold and also does incremental update (runs distributed, calculates delta on one machine, pushes delta to all my servers after gracefully stopping them and then starts them again). Also sends Jabber notifications on updates, unexpected shutdowns, etc. Maybe I'll released it some day too. The recent update (1.1.1.1) is not marked as required by the master server, you can easily check it by sending a packet with 1.1.1.0 version and the master server will not tell you that upgrade is required, however if you send 1.1.0.9 version, it will. So, my tool has failed to update servers this time. I guess, I'll add RSS monitoring as a backup for such cases. -- Best regards, Serge _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
