Re: [hlds_linux] CS:Source Linux PID's Changing
Hey Matt, first off, please turn off the digests unless there is a better reason to keep them than this reason to deactivate them: it makes it harder for threaded communication to function. When you reply to a digest, the thread -- all the references to preceding messages and replies included in e-mails' headers -- becomes broken and people using threaded views as well as those reading the archives gradually become more and more hostile toward you. (I tried explaining this to Valve's Mailman master, but he either didn't receive or ignored or disagreed with my point, so I gotta do this on a user-by-user basis.) As for your problem: unless SrcDS forks or crashes and restarts, PID changes shouldn't happen. (There is no setpid system call to complement getpid.) Try this: screen -dmLS CS_SOURCE_PUBLIC ./srcds_run -game cstrike -norestart +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 56 -port 27018 -tickrate 33 +fps_max 150 Eventually, your SrcDS will probably crash. When it does, it won't do so that silently, and you can always check screenlog.0 (or higher numbers) for what exactly happened. To help Valve fix this, install gdb on the machine and execute srcds_run with the -debug switch. It should generate a debug.log with a backtrace, which you then mail to the address given. ~~ Ondra On 07.11.07 4:19 Uhr, Matt Ogborne wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Howdy, Long time reader, first post, so pls be gentle :-) Until recently the PID (process ID) for a CS:S server running used to stay the same, thus using taskset in Linux, we were able to set the process to run on a specific CPU core.

Do you have an automatic restart set up through a script to have the server restart on a daily, or other increment? I know my servers are set up in cron to restart each day at 5 am and the easiest way to pull the PID is to do: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ps -ef | grep screen | grep whatever you title your screen session as | grep -v grep | awk '(print $2 )' counterstrike.pid ps -ef pulls all running processes, the pipe means we are going to do something with that command, the next thing we do is grep for screen sessions, then we grep for the screen session that you saved the game as, then grep -v removes the grep that we are doing at the moment, and finally the awk command will take the second piece of output (which is the PID), and prints it out - this will give you the PID for the screen session. If you want you can roll that all up in a script, chmod it so that it can be run executably, and then through it in your crontab to run hourly, daily, etc. Keep us updated on how it goes. ; ) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Re: [hlds_linux] CS:Source Linux PID's Changing
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The only thing that I could think of that would cause that would be if the server is crashing, which is logical then that the PID changes.
