Linux boot script question?

[Legacy_Calvinthesneak]

               Pretty sure that works.  Just piping it into a file instead of standard output (the screen).

Fairly certain you could also to ls -alF n*.*

Which would give you a listing of all files starting with n..
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               Ok here is what it shows by doing ls -alF n*.*

nwconfig.ini
nwconfig.exe
nwloader.exe
nwmain.exe
nwncdkey.ini
nwn.exe
nwnpatch.ini
nwnplayer.ini
nwserver.exe
nwtoolset.exe
nwtoolset.ini
nwupdate.ini

I see the nwserver when I do     ls         but not in this one ?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               haha hey guys does this make sense to you ?

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs


./nwserver  not only worked  but DM can login too. Thanks guys .

               ahhh 64 bit environment.....

If you decide to run nwnx... I do have some binaries I compiled in 64 bit environment.  I don't think you'll need them if you just want to run 32 bit precompiled SO.

               Ok guys I have been looking at the script Skildron advised .I was going to call it restart and have a cron call it every 5 min to see if server needed rebooting.

I'm NOT using nwnx keep in mind.

Question : where does the name of my module go in this thing.And once thats figured out is the rest right and if i call it every 5 minutes?

Here it is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

               You'll see way at top there are two versions of the command to run nwserver.  One is without nwnx, you simply append your servers options, etc to the nwserver command.


Or you could simpely create a nwnstartup.sh file and use the nwnx command (you don't need to have the plugin to have the server startup routine)

would looks something like this:

[nwscript]
#!/bin/sh
#export LD_PRELOAD="./nwnx2.so"
./nwserver \\
-publicserver 1 \\
-servername "Your Server Name" \\
-dmpassword pass \\
-oneparty 0 \\
-pvp 2 \\
-difficulty 3 \\
-elc 1 \\
-ilr 0 \\
-reloadwhenempty 0 \\
-module "Your Module" \\
-pauseandplay 0 \\
-maxclients 40 \\
-servervault 1 \\
-maxlevel 40 \\
-gametype 3 \\
-autosaveinterval 0 \\
-playerpassword blblbl \\
-port 5121 \\
"$@"
#unset LD_PRELOAD
exit
[/nwscript]
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Calvinthesneak]

               As for the cron job, you would have it test your process monitor say.. every 5 minutes....

You simply have to change your restart command to ./nwservctl.sh start
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               I changed the line at the top like this


NWSERVER_COMMAND="nwserver -module mymodule" #Basic nwserver

comes back saying line 59 unknown token?  here is  line 59

case $ARG1 in
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Skildron]

               You have to run the script as ./nwservctl start to start your nwserver instance. Other than that, adding the module name inside the script, which I never did before, as the script offers lots of possibilities to communicate with the running nwserver, works fine - I just tried it out.

[Legacy_Calvinthesneak]

               Might have issues parsing the string like that, unfortunately my linux test box is outta comission for a couple days so I can't offer any help, other than what I suggested earlier, create a nwnstartup.sh file like the example above.

Then simply have your process monitor launch the server if the pid doesn't exist anywhere.  I wrote a slightly more detailed and elaborate process monitor than that, as mine will search to see if nwserver is hanging at maximum processor usage for more than 90 seconds if it is running.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Knight_Shield]

               I cant get it to fire and my linux friend wont be in until friday.Could you post what you made work without the nwnx2 Skildron? I can copy it and paste my module name in it.Then if it doenst work for me I will know to trouble shoot something else .

I start it manually from the directory it resides in with

./nwservctl.sh start

Works fine for me.

               Woot ! ! ! After my linux friend beat me vigirously with a bamboo stick:pinched: for using my Vista note pad ,he then copied your posted script  again in linux and installed it.
It works great.


Thanks again Skildron 
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Calvinthesneak]

               Hey Skil, since we're talking bout the script here, maybe you can follow this.....


So you have the wait_loaded line like so:

SECONDS_TO_WAIT=120
PASS_RESPONSE="playerpassword\\n" # Basic nwserver
PASS_PHRASE="0x08203e79" # NWNX2 init if you use nwnstartup.sh
WAIT_LOADED="empty -w -t $SECONDS_TO_WAIT -i out.fifo -o in.fifo $PASS_PHRASE $PASS_RESPONSE"

So it waits for the nwnx init phrase, but I was expecting the -t to delay the command by that number of seconds, but according to the man page it simply is the amount of time to wait for an appropriate response.  Have a better idea on how to automate the removal of the password after more than a basic delay?


I've been mulling over something like the man page suggests....

A  better way to send the password to the supervised program is to read
      it from file:

           empty -s [common options] <./password-file
