When you start the server, run the command:

while true; do ./tfs; done;

When you start the server, run the command:

while true; do ./tfs; done;

Where would you execute this command?
In the console?

Sorry. xD

Yes, open a terminal and copy paste that in. Make sure you are in the forgottenserver directory.

The ./tfs means execute this file (tfs) the dot (. ) in front of the / is to tell the server this directory. If you leave out the dot then the server will think you mean the root directory.

Mhmm, I never thought I'd be helping you any day, haha.

create a file with:

touch restarter.sh

use a text editor of your choice (I like vim), paste the code inside this file and save it:

while true; do ./tfs; done;

make the code executable with:

chmod +x restarter.sh

run the script:

./restarter.sh

Hit me up if you need more help.

Just make sure to close the restart.sh before closing tfs otherwise it will loop through and re-start the server.

Kindest Regards,
Okke

You can also add this line just before the loop:

ulimit -c unlimited

It will enable core dumps, so when your application crashes, core dump file will be created, which can be later opened in gdb to find information about the reason of the crash.

To avoid overriding core dump file in the situation when two crashes happens in a short period of time, you can modify core_pattern, for example:

echo "/tmp/cores/core.%e.%p.%h.%t" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

More details: The Core Pattern (core_pattern), or how to specify filename and path for core dumps

or you can create an archive called "restarter.sh" and put this code inside:

#!/bin/bash
ulimit -c unlimited
while true; do ./tfs --log-file "output.txt" "error.txt"; done

then before starting your server write this command on screen (open a screen before ofc): ./restarter.sh

Ps. maybe need a especial permission before, so write chmod 777 restarter.sh

What's the output you get?

I do not undestand

 

[Okke]

Why cannot you run that? Errors?

I fix that with this

sed -i -e 's/\r$//' NAME-OF-FILE.sh

Still, you haven't mentioned any errors, the solution won't be helpful if we don't know what the problem was, anyways, I'm happy you figured out yourself.
