Ubuntu : , server backup after crash ?

[RyBack]

ok i'm willing to rent a vps with ubuntu 14.10 server inside ,

lets assume that the server crashed , what would restart it ? nothing !


what's the solution ? perhaps a terminal script ?

It's better to ask on some Ubuntu forums, I know you like us, but you would get help there faster.

Posting it in MOHAA General / Questions / Problems section is not a good idea either.

You can use a bash script to auto restart a process if it gives an exit code other than 0, but even when MOHAA servers do crash, most of the time the exit code is 0. As for your VPS, you should have a panel where you can restart the entire server via your browser.

#!/bin/sh
while true
do 
if pgrep mohaa_lnxded
then
   echo running
else
   cd /usr/local/games/mohaa-server;./mohaa_lnxded +exec yourserver.cfg &
fi
sleep 5
done

Here is what you can use. Its a Shell script.

Sorry for replying late. I have not been checking in here often.

HTH.
