Start maps by script without pwAdmin

[Zorno]

Heyho

I just want to know, how i can start single maps without using pwAdmin or any of those web access things. I want to make some sh files for every map so that i can control them by coding a timer program. Some of the maps like the Forrest ruins are time limited so they just needed to be started when its time for it
And no i dont want a discussion about changing that times or "they are always on" i just want to know how to manually start and stop maps

./gs <mapname (as configured in gs.conf)>


ex:
from within /PWServer/gamed (obviously)
./gs gs01 (world map)
./gs arena01 (self explanitory)
./gs bg01 (self explanitory)
./gs is34 (would start the chapel)
./gs is21 (would start celestial world)
./gs is22 (would start demon world)

and so on, and so on

No you can just use cron to do that...

crontab -e

add

.---------------- minute (0 - 59) 
|     .------------- hour (0 - 23)
|     |     .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
|     |     |    .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... 
|     |     |    |   .----- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)  OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat 
|     |     |    |   |
*   *   *   *  *  /PWServer/gamed/gs mapname

*   *   *   *   * /dont/remember/specific/map/kill/command

and tada, cron handles it

There are many awesome things about Linux/UNIX based os's and yes cron is one of them

(Won't tell people about other nifty little things I know about that most I found out about on accident D: )

all hail cron =D (i love it, i use it for auto-announce, and to refresh my top players list)

I use it to check every 5min if a map is crashed and restart it if necessary.

Oooh thats a good idea

1. Check if map is crashed
2. Start map if it is crashed
3. Send system broadcast saying sorry about map crash and it will be back on shortly
4. Send email to GMs notifying them of crash
5. (this will take a bit more time) possible im notification using libpurple

I think Ill work on a script that does that

check_gs01.sh

#/bin/bash

if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep 'gs gs01' > /dev/null >> /PWServer/logs/check_gs01.log
then
echo "GameServer: Main World[gs01] is RUNNING."
else
echo "GameServer: Main World[gs01] is DOWN. Restarting Main World..."
cd /PWServer/gamed
./gs gs01
fi

crontab

Yea I mean hell, just in case you were away all together (out taking a jog / whatever) you could even have it send an SMS message to your mobile phone in addition to / or instead of an email or "IM". Then no matter where you are or what you are doing you would know 'wassup' ;)

.htaccess for mailsend folder

DENY FROM ALL
ALLOW FROM 127.0.0.1
