Auto-Restart Server Grid

[TruWrecks 33]

Until a better method is available I wrote my own method to auto-restart a server on crash.

Start by making a batch file to launch all of the grid servers in their own process.

 

GridStart.bat

START /W D:\Servers\Atlas\steamcmd\steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:\Servers\Atlas +app_update 1006030 +quit

timeout /t 10
START /W xcopy /EY C:\Users\truwr\Documents\Atlas\Saved\A1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini D:\Servers\Atlas\ShooterGame\Saved\A1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini
START /W xcopy /EY C:\Users\truwr\Documents\Atlas\Saved\A1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini D:\Servers\Atlas\ShooterGame\Saved\A2\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini
START /W xcopy /EY C:\Users\truwr\Documents\Atlas\Saved\A1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini D:\Servers\Atlas\ShooterGame\Saved\B1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini
START /W xcopy /EY C:\Users\truwr\Documents\Atlas\Saved\A1\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini D:\Servers\Atlas\ShooterGame\Saved\B2\Config\\WindowsServer\Game.ini

START CMD /C CALL D:\Servers\Atlas\AtlasTools\RedisDatabase\redis-server_start.bat
timeout /t 5
START CMD /C CALL Grid1.bat
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
timeout /t 10
START CMD /C CALL Grid2.bat
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
timeout /t 10
START CMD /C CALL Grid3.bat
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
timeout /t 10
START CMD /C CALL Grid4.bat
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
timeout /t 10

Grtd1.bat

@Echo off
:Start
ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=0?AltSaveDirectoryName=A1?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=10?QueryPort=57550?Port=5750?SeamlessIP=x.x.x.x -log -server -NoBattlEye -ExclusiveJoin
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
ping -n 30 localhost

goto Start

 

Grtd2.bat

@Echo off
:Start
ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=1?ServerY=0?AltSaveDirectoryName=A2?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=10?QueryPort=57551?Port=5751?SeamlessIP=x.x.x.x -log -server -NoBattlEye -ExclusiveJoin
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
ping -n 30 localhost

goto Start

 

Grtd3.bat

@Echo off
:Start
ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=0?ServerY=1?AltSaveDirectoryName=B1?MaxPlayers=100?ReservedPlayerSlots=30?QueryPort=57552?Port=5752?SeamlessIP=x.x.x.x -log -server -NoBattlEye -ExclusiveJoin
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
ping -n 30 localhost

goto Start

 

Grtd4.bat

@Echo off
:Start
ShooterGameServer.exe Ocean?ServerX=1?ServerY=1?AltSaveDirectoryName=B2?MaxPlayers=20?ReservedPlayerSlots=10?QueryPort=57553?Port=5753?SeamlessIP=x.x.x.x -log -server -NoBattlEye -ExclusiveJoin
echo Press Ctrl-C if you don't want to restart automatically
ping -n 30 localhost

goto Start

 

This is the most elegant method I can find that will it will get the server back up and running within 30 seconds of a crash.

 

Updated start script to launch Redis, check for server updates, copy game.ini with any changed I want to push to my servers, then launch the grid servers with a 10 second delay between each so they load faster.

Hey there,

So if 1 instance dies for whatever reason, it will restart itself with no user intervention? What is the script doing exactly for each instance?

Starts the grid. Echos a msg and pings for 30 seconds and loops back?  Does it know not to execute the grid again if its already running?

[TruWrecks 33]

The script pauses while the server is running. If the server crashes for any reason the script counts to 30 and keeps checking for the process in case it recovers. If it doesn't recover in 30 seconds the script launches the server again. Each grid tile is monitored individually and can be recovered 1 at a time. Launching the main launch script should ignore the existing servers, but I need to test that a bit further to make sure.

Updated start script to check for server updates.

Nice script! By the way, you can edit DefaultGame.ini, for example, to have settings which persist across all zones. This is what I did for zones where I have identical settings such XP rates. I only go to the specific save folder ini's for applying zone specific settings. Seems to work for me.

I found that validating the atlas server folder with steamcmd resets the defaults
