Another start/stop script for linux32/64

[Bennie]

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Please don't use this outdated script anymore!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


Hey all,

first of all nice new product. Installed this afternoon and loving it!

I've modified one of my Unreal tournament 3 script to run with Teamspeak. This script can be added to your crontab with the status option to restart the server when it has crashed or so. Screen is not used

Basic functions:
# start, this starts the server in background
# stop, this stops the running server
# restart, this restarts the running server
# check, this checks if the server is running and gives online or offline back
# status, this checks if the server is running and if not restart the server
# debug, this starts the server but wont background the process. All server output will be showed on screen.
# update, updates your server on request (by r15ch13)

Manage functions:
# start serverid, start a virtual server
# stop serverid, stops a virtual server
# list, list all virtual servers with name, clients logged and max client.

aria:/home/dedicated/ts3# ./ts3ss manage list
Retrieving virtual servers
Virtual server id 1 Glowing\ Goat\ TS3 on port 9987 (0/500) online
Virtual server id 2 new\ server on port 9988 (1/10) online

aria:/home/dedicated/ts3# ./ts3ss manage stop 2
Attempting to shutdown virtual server 2.

im using mysql, works the script with that?

[Bennie]

if you use the TS3 ini file it will

[eVil.MouZe]

so only start with ./script.sh start?

[Bennie]

if you use this script all you do is ./ts3ss start

you can use stop, debug (for onscreen display), restart, status (if down its started) and check

[eVil.MouZe]

ok ive started the server with ./start.sh start , but the server uses the sqlite file

ts3server.ini
ts3db_mysql.ini

exist

[Bennie]

gimme 5 mins and i will update the script.

[eVil.MouZe]

no prob.

i think u have to add commandline parameter inifile=ts3server.ini

[Bennie]

yup,

its updated (refresh download if you get the old file). You got a new var called options. That can be any commandline argument that needs to be added on the ts3 exec.

edit:
works absolutly fine

[Bennie]

hi,

nice script!

How can i make it so that the "status" command can be used by a cron job.

i want to have a cron job running every now and then, to check the status of the server and restart it.

[Bennie]

just add a line like this in your crontab:

*/10 * * * * user [ -x /your/path/to/ts3ss ] && /your/path/to/ts3ss status 1>>/var/log/ts3_status.log 2>&1

This will check every 10 minuts and log something in /var/log/ts3_status.log. This file needs to be writable by the user given. If you dont want that just change it to /dev/null

User needs be your user you use to run the service.

thanks for the quick reply.

im using a webhost for hosting TS, and i want to set up the cron through cpanel.

I tried it through he optional unix style for entering crons, and it didnt work.
