Because of mapchanges I added the sleep. Increase it or duoble the check
if you feel insecure.
Regarding updates:
On my servers there is only one install which gets its updates thanks to
the srcdsupdatechecker. The productive servers have their own configs
and folders. The rest are only symlinks to that masterserver.
That way I do not have your updateproblem.
If you are running the servers in a screen like most people do, you
could check if an update is running before restarting the server:
if [[ "`grep 'Updating' screenlog.0 | grep -v 'Updating Installation'`"
== "" ]]
then
yourrestartfunction
fi

Oh I made a mistake. the case I wrote will restart, when the server is
responding. You could use the code with a cronjob and without the
while
loop:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ "`printf

Something like this is possible, however our servers are on multiple
boxes too. A crontab that checks my database to see if somebody
issues a "kill"
and then act upon it would be the best solution so far. I would
manage to do this in php or perl.. but it won't be nice... :)

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] remote restart of screen session?
I'm using a web interface for my servers I made in PHP and I
experienced similar issues with freezing servers not being able to
be shut down by any admin except me (via ssh). The solution I use is
simple.
Since my web interface names all screens it starts tf_$id (like
tf_15) I can
simply provide a kill switch which would use `ps aux | grep tf_15`
to get the PID of the screen and then kill it, all in one bash
script which simply takes the server id as parameter.
So if you give your screens unique names it's only one PHP and bash
script that finds and kills the server.

Only in some cases the instance "hangs" and needs a proper kill or
something similar to restart.
If there's any way to reliably detect these hangs, some kind of
watchdog cron job that restarts it automatically might be worth
looking into.
Finding out the cause of those hangs& fixing those would be even
better but you can't have everything I guess... :)
I could create a webthingy that it places a file which can be
checked with a crontab and if found restart a screen/process but
it sounds like someone should have been there before me.
For running / managing gameservers and other things in screen, I
made
this:
https://github.com/frostschutz/Screen-Manager/blob/master/bin/sm
However it does not offer any kind of remote management.
If you already have a web service running on the machine, it'd
probably be the best / easiest to use option.
I used to have a Python daemon that allowed the client to connect
through telnet and issue simple commands like ping server, show
players,
or restart.
I'm using SSH instead now, with an authorized_keys entry that
restricts the user to a specific action only, so it does not
actually give shell access. For example the entry can look like this:
command="manage-server.sh",no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,n
o-u ser-rc,no-X11-forwarding ssh-rsa AAAAQQQQ== AdminName
Of course this requires the user to install an SSH client and
generate an SSH key, although you can hide this complexity behind a
Windows
shortcut.
Still, a web service would probably be much more comfortable, I
just didn't want to install a web server and possibly PHP just for
this...
