Startup screen

[Ni3ls]

Hi all,
I want to make a simple startup file to execute. In this file it have to kill the old screen, start a new screen, attach to screen, start server and then detach screen. However, I get managed to start the screen and resume it. But the server only starts if u quit the screen :/

screen -X -S test quit
screen -AmdS test
screen -r test
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. LD_PRELOAD=libcod2_1_0.so ./cod2_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 46.4.55.66 +set net_port 28961 +set sv_maxclients 52 +exec serversd.cfg + exec pws.cfg +set fs_game test + set sv_cracked 1

This is what I got so far

Why not use a solution that is already finished. Like OGP.
You only need to edit their cod2.xml game config. It is needs .callofduty2 after fs_homepath.

Also if you want to add libcod to your server. Then follow this post.
http://killtube.org/showthread.php?1971-How-to-use-libcod-with-Open-Game-Panel-(OGP)&p=10190&viewfull=1#post10190

Edit: Also remove their map rotation.

I dont have root access, so I cant install it :(

Then look at their agent and see how they start the server. I'm sure there is something useful to learn and use from their project.

[kung foo man]

Instead of resuming the session to execute the command, you have to send the command with -X and specify the needed window with -p (though I only need to specify a window on my VPS, the root does it automatically, kinda strange).



screen -AmdS foo
screen -S foo -p 0 -X stuff "echo hi
"


(the newline is needed)

Instead of echo hi, you gonna write ./server.sh of course (to encapsulate your LD_PRELOAD env vars, easier/faster testing etc.)

I wrote such a script for my own "PHP hosting", so you could reuse/fit it:

/root/shell/service.sh


count_services()
{
echo $(screen -ls | grep service | wc -l)
}

#are_screens_running
#echo $?
are_screens_running()
{
linesOfScreen="$(screen -ls | wc -l)"
if [ $linesOfScreen != "2" ]; then
echo "screens running"
return 1
fi
echo "NO screens running"
return 0
}

service_start()
{
# prevent multiple services
if [ $(count_services) -ge 1 ]; then
echo "Service already running!"
return 0
fi

if ! [ -a ./server.sh ]; then
echo "Configure Service First!";
return 0
fi

# this way the session will be quitted after crash:
# so i could make a php-daemon which is watching the sessions

# start the session
screen -AmdS service #./server.sh

# this way the session is still open after crash:

screen -S service -p 0 -X stuff "./server.sh
"

echo "Service started!"
}
service_stop()
{
if [ $(count_services) = 0 ]; then
echo "Service already stopped!"
return 0
fi

#screen -r service -X quit

# delete ALL screens named "service"
for i in $(screen -ls | grep service | awk '{print $1}'); do screen -d -r $i -X quit; done
echo "Service stopped!"
}
service_status()
{
path=~
script=server.sh
if [ ! -f "$path/$script" ]; then
echo "Service not configured!"
return 0
fi

if [ $(count_services) = 0 ]; then
echo "Service not running!"
return 0
fi
echo "Service is running!"
return 1;
}
service_restart()
{
service_stop
service_start
}


case $1 in
"start")
service_start
;;

"stop")
service_stop
;;

"status")
service_status
;;

"restart")
service_restart
;;
esac


Example:



k_deathrun@Debian-70-wheezy-64-LAMP:~$ /root/shell/service.sh status
Service not running!
k_deathrun@Debian-70-wheezy-64-LAMP:~$ /root/shell/service.sh start
Service started!
k_deathrun@Debian-70-wheezy-64-LAMP:~$ /root/shell/service.sh status
Service is running!
k_deathrun@Debian-70-wheezy-64-LAMP:~$ /root/shell/service.sh stop
Service stopped!
k_deathrun@Debian-70-wheezy-64-LAMP:~$ /root/shell/service.sh status
Service not running!
