Re: [hlds_linux] Exit srcds
Alternitively, get him to look into sudo and grant you permission to sudo all or some commands as the games user. Type in man sudo for more information. The servers are running on screens, but not under my user account - they're running on a 'games' user. If I were to kill the screen, I wouldn't be able to create a new screen under the 'games' user since I don't have the privileges to do so. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Yory not just trying to detach from the screen are you ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James D Sent: Monday, 31 October 2005 2:48 p.m. To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Exit srcds [ Converted text/html to text/plain ] It sounds like he needs to make up his mind.

I just wanted to know of a more 'graceful' exit command to quit out of the srcds program; instead of using 'ctrl + c' or killing the screen altogether. I guess it doesn't matter.

Re: [hlds_linux] Exit srcds
Yeah, but those solutions require his sysadmin to get off his lazy butt and grant him privileges. (Or it could just be that the sysadmin has a strict security policy). Running a bash instance inside screen takes no additional pain on the part of either of them. -John Sheu On Tue, 2005-11-01 at 09:13 +0100, Regime wrote: Alternitively, get him to look into sudo and grant you permission to sudo all or some commands as the games user.

Re: [hlds_linux] Exit srcds
The sysadmin would still have to initiate the bash script since he can access the games user. I use a stop_css script on my server that looks like this: /usr/bin/screen -r css -X quit css is the name assigned to the screen instance. This causes the server program to exit gracefully but also closes the screen instance. It would still require admin privileges to start back up. ..Chuck Suse 9.0-64 Yeah, but those solutions require his sysadmin to get off his lazy butt and grant him privileges.

Re: [hlds_linux] Exit srcds
I think the point is that he _doesn't_ want to have to restart the screen instance every time. With this, all it takes is to start the instance once. It isn't a bash script, just a shell session. Bash itself. On Tue, 2005-11-01 at 12:51 -0500, Chuck Gibke wrote: The sysadmin would still have to initiate the bash script since he can access the games user.

Nope, at least once monthly we push gigs back and forth between boxes on the network for backup and updates, mostly using ftp because of wget's limitations on file size. None of which fail. Even if, the steam updater is file by file isn't it? I assume that for those transfers, traffic is via LAN. You won't see the problem there. Can you test a large FTP transfer inbound via your WAN link and see if you get the symptom showing up during that transfer. Another way to test is to check if you can ping the update server and then to do a couple of low volume large payload ping tests (try payloads of 1400bytes, 2000 bytes and 4000 bytes sending only 10 packets or so per test). If the 1400 byte payloads work and the higher payload sizes fail then you probably have an MTU mismatch or someone between you and the update server is blocking ICMP Fragmentation needed but DF set. Have a look at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/38.shtml for more info about this sort of problem and for how to turn off PMTUD on different several operating systems. -- Dave ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
