-jailshell-2.05b$

as you can see, no server_linux PID. Ok, so, look an this:

-jailshell-2.05b$ ./teamspeak2-server_startscript stop
stopping the teamspeak2 server./teamspeak2-server_startscript: line 39: kill: (30697) - No such process
.................................................. ...................................

and now look at this:

-jailshell-2.05b$ ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
tsserver2.pid already exists...server already started ?
-jailshell-2.05b$


So, why?, why it says that there is a server already started?.

[Brain]

Because!


How is anybody supposed to know what your teamspeak2-server_startscript does?
If you don't know what your own scripts do then shame on you.

Besides, just delete the file if there's no server running :D

[Peter]

Brain: Its the standard name for the startscript in b51, so we can assume he is using my startscript.

Well do what it says: Remove the .pid file if you are sure it is stopped (and stop the server next time using "./startscript stop" instead of killing it manualy...that way it will remove the pid, and will not complain that it thinks the server is still running next time.

[Brain]

Ah, good to know, thanks.

you can use /etc/init.d/teamspeak2-server zap
