Make "exit" or "quit" re-start a server

Q: How can I make the "exit" or "quit" command restart my server?
A: In windows this can be done via a batch script. This can also be done in a similar method in linux.

Below is an example of an auto-restart script.
Change "GAME" to your game and the start-up command to your start-up command Smile

Code:

::=======================::

::    SRCDS Guardian     ::

::      Black-Sky        ::

::       Drocona         ::

::                       ::

::   EDITED FOR DEFRAG   ::

::       BY MOOGA        ::

::                       ::

::      TF2 Version      ::

::=======================::

::This will make the window clear, remove all paths etc, just to keep the important stuff

@echo off

::Give a name to the window, nothing really important.

title SRCDS Guardian               My GAME Server

::Clear the window

cls

::Report to console what we are doing

echo ****To close this script, close this windows and then the SRCDS window****

echo.

echo.

echo Watching the GAME SRCDS for crashes

>> GAME_Guardian.log echo.

>> GAME_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%) Started up SRCDS Guardian for GAME.

::Insert a return point if it crashes

:srcds

echo (%date%)(%time%)        GAME Server is now online.

>> GAME_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%)        GAME Server is now online.

::Start the actual server

start /wait C:\hl2server\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -maxplayers 24 +fps_max 200 -port 27015 +map ctf_2fort -tickrate 66

echo (%date%)(%time%) GAME Server crashed or closed. Now restarting...

>> GAME_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%) GAME Server crashed or closed. Now restarting...

::Server crashed or closed, so we point it to the return point to start the server again

goto srcds

if you've seen the any of the matrix movies, a game server is not all that different. it runs a version of the game that handles the entire world for each client connected.

that's the 2 sentence explanation.
