Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine
I'm having this same error like 2 times per month, with srcds/hlds servers. I can only ping the machine but ssh, http, ftp won't work. People can join to the gameservers but they get freeze at mapchange for about 30mins. Sometimes I got luck and I manage to access to SSH. I checked the system load and it was 100+. 'reboot' command wasn't working so i did a 'killall hlds_i686 srcds_i686 srcds_i486' and the machine got unstuck and all worked fine again. strange, isn't it? I think that the problem is related to giving RT priority to the gameservers or maybe the kernel config (i'm using the one in fragaholics.de wiki in CentOS) -Rodrigo Joshua Smith escribió: > I have experienced this EXACT behavior on several machines, all running > debian lenny 64bit.

Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine
If you guys are running the servers with -debug (which doesn't currently do anything useful in -fork mode) or crash dumps enabled you should send a SIGABRT (-6) to the process to get it to dump a core file. It will also kill the fork as well. SIGKILL should be used as a last resort if SIGINT (standard kill) doesn't do anything. With regards to -debug and -fork, I have a Perl script that I run alongside srcds_run to achieve desired behavior. I need to re-write this to be more portable so that it can be shipped. -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of riemers Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 11:49 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine I've seen a process with 100% too, i've also seen a server which was full for like 2 hours on the same map.
