SRCDS Guardian 2.0 - Keep your server running

**Mooga** · 09-04-2008 09:52 AM

SRCDS Guardian 3.0 is now available!

For those of you who have not used SRCDS Guardian before, it's a windows batch script made to restart the server if it is shut down. It was first built by Black-Sky & Drocona. I then released an edited version with some basic customizations. However, editing the script with the customizations required searching through and replacing a lot of things.

SRCDS Guardian 2.0 does away with this by setting variables at the start of the script to make everything easier. Below is the script. I've also added it in a zip file. (Since we can't add .bat files)

Enjoy!

SRCDS Guardian 3.0 is now available!

Would it be possible to run multiple servers using this batch file? If yes, how do you set it up? Just wondering...I tried experimenting with the other SRCDS Guardian.

**Goilio** · 09-04-2008 01:41 PM

It is posibal modding it so it can, if I get time i will have a look at it tonight.
Good Job Mooga!

**Mooga** · 09-04-2008 02:44 PM

Just have one batch files per server.
Set the server name and command line. All my servers use SRCDS Guardian. With HL servers, make sure the batch file is in the game folder Wink

**Drocona** · 09-05-2008 04:02 AM

Ghost Assassin, you could make one "master" batch file that executes all the specific server batch files. So when you execute the master batch file all your servers will start up.

Seems cool. Smile

recon0 · 11-01-2008 07:24 PM

You have to have a user logged in to the box running the batch file though. And if you run it as a service, I don't think killing the service will close the srcds processes. You could use something like this instead. You don't need someone logged into the box (saves RAM).

The batch file is nicely written Wink

A+

I am getting an error running this. It starts the server fine but it says it couldnt find the path but I know its correct...

ComputerHelper · 01-04-2009 11:25 PM

Hey I got this working but have one problem, I run servers on different cores of the system and when SRCDS Guardian reboots the server it defaults to all cores. Any one to make it default to s specific core?

ComputerHelper · 01-06-2009 03:39 AM

Any ideas to my above question?

**Mooga** · 01-09-2009 06:14 PM

In you are using window server, you can use the affinity command. For XP (or vista) you would need to install a third part program (to my knowledge)

Okay, I have translated it into Danish Smile

This is a great tool, love it Big Grin

Vista's start command (atleast biz ver) lets you set affinity via a commandline switch. Both OS's will let you set process priority via a switch as well.
