my all 3 servers down for no reason!!!

first you can always use the "ps ax" command (or with similar options like only "x" or "faux" -> see "man ps" for details) to find out what processes are running. you will also see what options the server was started with and so which port is used (you might need the option "ww" for the ps command to display long command lines completely, that's why I told you to use "ps fauxww").

srcds creates its own log files if you have the command "log on" in the server.cfg or at command line (./srcds_run ... +log on). you will find them in the logs directory of your server.

sorry :-)

Quote:by the way what does this cause when u try to run server -port 27015 but it goes to 27018.. while other 2 port does work 27016 27017

that means another server is already running at 27015... I don't know why, but sometimes srcds seems to just use another port if the one you specified is taken and sometimes it gives that error message.

weird now one of my server is down and i tried to screen ./srcds_run but it goes to port 27018 but i want server to go to 27015... any idea? here there command i tried to put screen ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -autoupdate +ip 38.99.168.192 +port 27015 -insecure -tickrate 100 +maxplayers 22 +map surf_legends

use -port not +port

still this is an idication that you have some server running at 27015. if a server is down it does not mean that the port is free. the server might just hang. so before you restart the server always check if the process is still running, i.e. connect to the screen where you started the server. only if that screen is not there anymore you might start a new server process.

alright thanks!!! but is there a command to view server running without going to play game or look at logs?

[chuck]

anyone?

[BehaartesEtwas]

I wrote it like 4 times in this thread and you already used it yourself. I won't repeat it again...

the logs are simple text files in the cstrike/logs directory of your server. Just transfer it to your PC and open it with your favorite text editor.

[chuck]

no you just don't get it.... I'm on computer 24/7 and I'm wondering when my server is running and i log in ssh, how can i view my server running in ssh to see what it load and not loaded!!!not looking into logs where shows crappy logs that not needed

---

cuz when i go screenlog.0 file it show empty 0 size!!!

[chuck]

wtf? lol

[BehaartesEtwas]

chuck: read the third post of this thread. if you have a specific problem, ask a specific question please including the error message or what ever hindering from doing what ever you try (and the command you try). if you don't have a specific problem read the man page (i.e. type "man screen" in your linux console).

ps: can someone ban loopyman please? he is posting commercials in this thread. xD

[loopyman]

A What!

I posted a windows logo :/

[BehaartesEtwas]

just kidding ;-)

[loopyman]

Inside joke, no offense chuck

Typically if its your first time running game servers without a control panel you would use Windows for simplicity, but you must be ready for a challenge

[BehaartesEtwas]

well...

looks it wasn't his choice. and linux isn't that hard to learn that it would justify a switch "back" to windoze. ;-)

Feels like he has problems that servers are running. Cant he create a file like this below and exec it. To kill all servers?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall -9 srcds_run
/bin/sleep 15

And after it try to start them.
