OpenTibia Linux Restarter

[klekSu]

Hello otlanders!

Let me present you a simple linux restarter script for your servers.

1. First of all install screen, for example in Debian by typing this -> apt-get install screen, then create following files.

2. File /etc/init.d/ots_restarter

#! /bin/bash

screen -A -m -d -S otsScreenName /etc/init.d/ots_restarter_script

3. File /etc/init.d/ots_restarter_script

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  cd /home/otsFolder
  echo "Restarting Ots"
  su userNotRoot -c ./theforgottenserver
done

4. Change otsScreenName to any name you wish.
5. Change userNotRoot to your linux user name other than main administrator root.
6. Now you can run your ot by typing /etc/init.d/ots_restarter and you can see how it works by typing screen -r ots, remember do NOT hit ctrl+c because that will restart your screen such as your ots. To quit screen but keep it running hit ctrl+a+d.
