Linux server startup script!

**mancert** · 21-12-2009, 04:49

Edit by mod
Please don't use this outdated script anymore! The script got an overhaul long time ago.
Please use the minimal or startscript instead

Startup script for starting at boot

*Changelog*

Also made a menu based script that installs teamspeak to chosen folder, helps you make the ini files (mysql and server.ini), helps you configure and place the startscript.
The script will see if the files it creates already is there, if so it creates a backup of the old files. (scripts not install)
The ts3conf script, will also let you chose if you want to use screen mode or nohup mode.
Menu based script can be found at http://www.spagettimafia.com/ts3.
To download:

Code:

wget http://www.spagettimafia.com/ts3/ts3conf

To start:

Code:

chmod +x ts3conf
./ts3conf

Screen shots at bottom of this post.

v 0.42 ts3conf: Minor change
Added feature, now cancel button on pages will get you back to main menu
Minor correction to the "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH", forgot to backslash a variable, nof fixed.
Removed the menu option "Userscript", no longer needed since TS Team have provided us with one!

v 0.41 ts3conf: Minor change.
Removed the reccomandation for using screen over NOHUP methode, due to devs fixing it in newer version of server binary.
On Ubuntu there have been some problems with the script when one is trying to use screen methode after they implemented the EXPORT librarypath statment. Please use NOHUP on that os.

v 0.95 Startscript: Minor change.
Bugfix, see v 0.42 changelog.
Also made the NOHUP script the default script on this page now. Screen version is still availeble as a choice in the ts3conf.

v 0.94 Startscript: Minor change.
Due to some people having problems with licence, when they use the script (server exits due to all slots used, even with only one person on the server). Changed the kill command from "kill -9 $id" to "kill -TERM $id", and hope this solves that problem

v 0.93 Startscript & v0.4 ts3conf: Minor change
Added text to command that starts the server to fit the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH string
Changed the way ts3conf renames old ini/script files to name.dd_mm_yy__time.bck instead of name.dd mm yy time.bck.

v 0.92: Added test option so one can check if it is set up correctly.

v 0.9: Minor change.
Added statements that checks if screen, awk and sudo is installed. If not it will tell you

Also checks for ts3 binary file in case of a miss configuration.

v 0.8: Added features.
Now script can handle ts3server.ini.
Added function for logging, where default logfile is /var/log/ts3.log. Can be changed ofcourse in options section of script

v 0.7: Total rewrite of the script.
Script start command now does the following: Checks if the server is running and checks if there is a pid-file.
Case 1: If the server is not running and there is no pid-file. It starts the server and creates a pid-file.
Case 2: If the server is not running and there is an old pid-file, deletes the old pid-file, starts the server and creates a new pid-file.
Case 3: The server is running but no pid-file. The server does not start a new one but creates a pid-file for the already running server.
Case 4: The server is running and there is a pid-file. Returns text that says the server is running!

Script stop command now does the following: Checks if the server is running and if there is a pid-file.
Case 1: The server is not running and there is no pid-file. Returns text that tells you server is not running.
Case 2: The server is not running and there is a pid-file. Removes the old pid-file.
Case 3: The server is running but no pid-file. Creates a new pid-file so the server can be properly shut down and removes the pid-file again.
Case 4: The server is running and there is a pid-file. Stops the server and removes the pid-file.

v 0.6: script so it now works even if it is an powerfailure. It now checks if teamspeak is running. If it is not it deletes the pid file and starts it normally!

This is a script that allows you to start TeamSpeak 3 at boot-up and it will close TeamSpeak 3 at reboot and shut-down. This script runs TeamSpeak 3 as another user than root as well for security reasons

!!This script requires that you have root access!!

Here is the script unmodified:

Then paste the script into that file, press ctrl-X and choose yes to save.
We need to make the script executable:

Code:

root@slack:etc/init.d/# chmod +x ts3

And last we need to edit rc.local and rc.local_shutdown:

Code:

 root@slack:etc/init.d/# cd ..
root@slack:etc/# cd rc.d
root@slack:etc/rc.d/# nano rc.local

Add the following in this file: /etc/init.d/ts3 start
The rc.local_shutdown is not there so we need to make it:

Code:

root@slack:etc/rc.d/# nano rc.local_shutdown

Add the following line: /etc/init.d/ts3 stop

Remember to start the server as the teamspeak user fiirst

I am 1 day into Linux and hating it. All this permissions stuff is giving me a headache. Can you help a new guy out with a little more explanation as to where this file should go and what permissions/ownership it must have. Thanks!

Ubuntu was easy to setup, TS3 is easy to get running (basically), but I cant get it so that it restarts on server reboot. What you have scripted out here seems to be what I am looking for.

**Schlup** · 21-12-2009, 07:30

Ok, so normally there is a start script, a restart script, and a stop script. Can you give some output to what those would all be? Great work on this though, I use webmin to control all my servers and this is how I control them.

**Merlok** · 21-12-2009, 07:31

You have to create a cronjob for that.

I don't know exactly where you can edit your cronjobs under Ubuntu, but basically you should add a new file to the cronjob folder which is named like your teamspeak user.

For example if you named your teamspeak user tss, you should create a file called tss in the cronjob directory with the following content:

Code:

@reboot /PATH_TO_YOUR_TS3_DIRECTORY/YOUR_TS3_STARTER_FILE

You should do a google search for where you can find your cronjob directory under Ubuntu.

The code goes into a file under /etc/init.d
Then you go into /etc/rc.d folder and edit rc.local file. There you add:

Code:

/etc/init.d/filname start

Also make a file called rc.local_shutdown in /etc/rc.d/ folder. In that file you add:

Code:

/etc/init.d/filname stop

Try that!

p.s. make sure there is no .pid file in teamspeak directory when you start the script since then it will not work!
p.s.2 this script creates a .pid file when it starts ts server and it removes the pid file when you stop the server via the script.

I ran into a problem creating the user teamspeak. I did this before you added the line:
chown $USER:$USERG $TS3/$NAME-screen.pid
But seems to me a user is still needed.

I am using debain and I used:
sudo useradd teamspeak

But when I went to run it I ran into problems about passwords. not sure if it wanted my user password or a password for user teamspeak which I didn't make.

Also the logs show that /home/teamspeak was created but it wasn't

Code:

My script requires that you have the a user added for it to work atm. This is what I did:

This is how i created the user:

Code:

root@teamspeak:/# adduser teamspeak

After lots of pressing enter and password for that account set I did this:

Code:

root@teamspeak:/# su teamspeak
teamspeak@teamspeak:$ wget http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/beta-2/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.0-beta2.tar.gz
teamspeak@teamspeak:/$ tar zxvf teamspeak3-server_linux-x86-3.0.0-beta2.tar.gz
teamspeak@teamspeak:/$ exit

Then you can run the script from the folder you're distro has as an init folder.

The reason I did it this way is that i will not have to worry so much about folder rights since the teamspeak server is run with teamspeak user from teamspeak home folder.

did that clarify anything or did it make it worse?

**Vorgus** · 21-12-2009, 09:35

well, I see part of the problem. some root commands can't be done with sudo. you have to do su to switch to root user first. did that and it created the teamspeak home folder. so that's a start.

I think for "su $USER" you can include the password in the USER var and then you won't need to enter the password. But it still would have to be set. have to experment but it's 2:35am and I don't know linux that well when I'm awake.

I've installed ubuntu on a virtual machine and had a go with this script.

And here is what I did to make the server start at bootup and stop on halt and reboot.

first of all I set a root password since ubuntu did not give me the option to do that when I installed the distro.

Start a terminal and type this:

Code:

user@ubuntu-test:~$ sudo sh
[sudo] password for user:
# passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
# exit

Then I did this in a terminal:

Code:

user@ubuntu-test:~$ su
Password:
root@ubuntu-test:/home/user# adduser teamspeak

Some text.....

Code:

 Enter new UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password:

Some more text....

Code:

Is this information correct? [Y/n] y

root@ubuntu-test:/home/user# cd /etc/init.d
root@ubuntu-test:/etc/init.d# nano ts3

Paste the script into the editor you just opened, ctrl-x to quit and choose to save.

Then run these command:

Code:

root@ubuntu-test:/etc/init.d# chmod +x ts3
root@ubuntu-test:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d -f ts3 defaults

Then Teamspeak 3 will start and stop correctly when server starts, reboots or halts.

Thnx mancert for making this script !

**Prototype** · 21-12-2009, 16:03

Changed one line to load the ts3server.ini file.

su $USER -c "$INTERFACE $TS3/$DAEMON inifile=ts3server.ini"

(ts3db_mysql.ini is loaded automatically because mysql is enabled instead of sqlite3 in the ts3server.ini)

For this people who need more option in the startscript could look hier:

You could edit all startvaribles, to the end both script, this and my, do the self. The Server start

Thanks for script mancert!
It is starting/stopping server just fine.

But I cannot use screen to get into the $NAME screen.

When I manually type in prompt the "screen -A -m -d -S teamspeak3" it creates the screen.
I can rejoin teamspeak3 with screen -d -r teamspeak3, and then exit it back to root.

But with ./teamspeak3 start the screen doesn't show up in the screen -ls or -list to rejoin it to see the server.

Any ideas?
Fedora10.

Great script there Crytix with even lots more options than mine

. But one question, does this script start TS3 at boot up and shut it down on reboot/halt?

And second question, do you mind if I adapt some of you're script into mine?
