Is the a way to automatically restart the TS server?

[daemonfoe]

I'm running a TS server on my spare computer, and I use it for clan use, so it needs to be up all the time. If it goes down when I'm not home, the whole clan has to move to a different server. Is there a setting or some kind of utility to detect when the server goes down and restarts it?

Don't ask how to work the thing. I know how but too lazy to describe it right now. Just read their documentation and FAQ if you have any problems.

ok, this programs seems pretty cool.. I can get it to restart the TS server when I close it, but it won't restart it if the server just goes down and needs a manual restart...

A nice script on a cron does the trick for me.

What is cron?

Cron is the name of program that enables unix users to execute commands or
scripts (groups of commands) automatically at a specified time/date. It is
normally used for sys admin commands, like makewhatis, which builds a
search database for the man -k command, or for running a backup script,
but can be used for anything. A common use for it today is connecting to
the internet and downloading your email.
