automatic server restart

wurst · **Posted:** 12.27.08

oki guys, heres next try for restarting the gameserver in the case it dont answer properly.
it is (thx xtj7) a little php script that use rcon protocol for querying the gameserver status (like hlsw etc)
if the answer dont contain "statusResponse", the restart batch will kill the server via taskkill and start it again.

thats the checking script

Code:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen( 'udp://127.0.0.1', 22222, $errno, $error, 1 ); 
fwrite( $fp, "xFFxFFxFFxFFgetstatusx00" );

if( $fp &amp;&amp; strpos( fgets( $fp, 2048 ), "statusResponse" ) ) {
        echo( 'Server alive' );
} else {
        echo( 'Server died' );
        system( "C:/gameservers/UrbanTerror/ForceRestart.bat &amp;&amp; exit", $output );
        echo( 'Attempting restart...' );
}
?>

...and thats the C:/gameservers/UrbanTerror/ForceRestart.bat

Code:

taskkill /F /IM ioUrTded.exe
taskkill /F /IM python.exe
C:gameserversUrbanTerror22222.bat
sendemail -f gameserver@dswp.de -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:225 -t lol@huhu -t spam@me.com -u huhu -m omg i did it again.

ah 2 notes:
-allways be sure to remember the save mode before use exec(), passthru() or system()
-sendemail.exe command line mail client can be found free at http://www.caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/
-be patient for the case our little "sylvesterknaller" has a littel "new-years-eve-backfire-issues"

oki heres new version of the thing. xtj7 built some test repeating in since some times rcon dont answer.

the script test several times before its going to restart serwer

Code:

<?php 
$check_attempts = 5;
$check_ip = '192.168.9.1';
$check_port = 22222;
$check_timeout = 1;
$check_wait = 1;
$check_call = "START C:/gameservers/UrbanTerror/ForceRestart.bat &amp;&amp; exit";

// Code
$failed = true;
$attempts = $check_attempts;
while( $attempts > 0 ) {
        if( checkUrTServer( $check_ip, $check_port, $check_timeout ) ) {
                $attempts = 0;
                $failed = false;
        } else {
                sleep( $check_wait );
                $attempts --;
        }
}

// Actions to perform on success / fail
if( $failed == true ) {
        echo( 'Server died...' );
        system( $check_call, $output ); 
} else {
        echo( 'Server alive' );
}

// Functions
function checkUrTServer( $ip, $port = 22222, $timeout = 1 ) {
        $fp = fsockopen( 'udp://' . $ip, $port, $errno, $error, $timeout );  
        fwrite( $fp, "xFFxFFxFFxFFgetstatusx00" ); 
        if( $fp &amp;&amp; strpos( fgets( $fp, 2048 ), "statusResponse" ) ) {
                return( true );
        } else {
                return( false );
        }
}
?>

Aww, if I had known you wanted to publish it, I had made the code look pretty and not some ugly scribbling like that...

Well, too late. It's only a simple and dirty solution for a problem that isn't supposed to exist in the first place.
So guys, if the server doesn't respond, visit the forum and it's supposed to restart.

ah btw, for our "windows users"

if u have the same prob like me:
(the batch stops when starting the gameserver, it will just continue when the urt console window closes)

use hstart with /NOCONSOLE to start the iourtded.exe
very nice progi, it keeps the promise that bill gave with the "start" command

heres site:
