Stopping a server
#1
Hi, i know that looks quite strange with all the pose of people trying to launch a server, but i encounter a problem with my tf2 server under linux.

I'd like to stop the server not via rcon but under a ./srcds_run command for a script.
I tried quit an exit but it restart on its own each time.
If anybody can help.

Or you can type

ps ux

..and which line(s) have srcds_run in them and do:

kill 432

(if 432 is the PID)

Code:
killall -9 srcds_run

Beware, this closes ALL srcds_run instances.

if your in a screen you can also do a
screen -S DSServer -X quit
assuming you ran the screen command with ' -S DSServer ' switch

sorry to bring up an old post but Im need the same thing.

Im running a server at home, but I just SSH'd in from away from home and want to stop it..I tried this. TOP and PS UX dont show anything with srcds_run in them, but the server is still running? wth? I just connected to it in TF2. If i try restarting it with ./srcds_run blalba i still keep joining the "lingering" one that has the wrong map running.

Also tried
sudo killall -9 srcds_run
srcds_run: no process killed

but my server is still running...im confused.

if it's running in screen, just do screen -r or screen -r serverscreenname then ctrl+c and that will stop it.

when you do the ps to find the pid of the server .. you will most likely need to sudo ps ...

a usefull command ( dont know if it works in ubuntu but it does in fedora/rh ) is
sudo ps aux --forest
just because their are more than a few times where somthing will look like it's running and it looks like you killed it , but it still has a parent somewhere that respawns it.

screen is still the best way to run any process that doesnt allready have a deamon option.

their are a good deal of screen/expect tricks you can do to build web based interfaces that would allow you to send commands to a running process in a screen ... but thats a whole other thread.
