What is the best way to keep a ded linux server up?

[MarleY]

Has anyone written a good script?

If so, could someone link me?

 

Or should I setup some kind of cron job todo this?

If so, could someone help me out with this? I'm pretty new to linux.

 

Or is there anything better out there?

Here is a good tutorial on crontab stuff. not mine, but lemme know if anything doesn't make sense.

 

As far as keeping your server running, there are a number of options. Since jk2's ded server is based on the Q3A ded server, You might try looking in the Quake3World forums...or using something like this...

 

#/bin/bash

cd /path/to/your/jk2ded

while true

do

./jk2ded +exec server.cfg +blah +blah

sleep 5

done

 

...obviously replacing the path with yours...and the exace commandline you call your jk2ded with.

PS, JK creates a dir called .jkii/ in your home directory, so it's better to place your JK files there too, since that's where the game thinks it is..
