Restart server - Cameltoe - 25.11.2010

Under linux when killing the server the server closes the clients connection.

How would i restart the server without gmx and without closing the clients connection?

Re: Restart server - Auxxx - 25.11.2010

I don't think it's possible, because linux terminates the connection between client and server permanently. I might be wrong, but in my opinion it is so...

That's what i believe too, though i wish to know if theres an way to do the opposite.

This happens when I close the console on my Windows server, too, but only when I close the console. Restarting via rcon does not do this. I do not have access to my Linux pc right now to see the results on Linux as you have said, however, I think the results will be the same as the Windows results.

Indeed, you are correct. The restarting of server, is closing the server (shutdown) and then turning it back on (start).

How does it "bugg up?"

If you mean that files fail to save, you could try to utilise the OnGameModeExit function (which I think is called when a GMX ocurrs)?

Thats one of the reasons, variables not getting reseted is yet another one.

I don't really need this, i just want to know if there's an way doing this : PP

I'm almost 100% positive that variables reset upon a GMX, as that's how I used to force restarts for my server, my only issue was functionality not being terminated and started again when the gamemode had started properly, which I resolved by exiting any of the plugin functions and calling them when the server starts again.

If that's not a feesible solution, I really can't think of anything else. I usually would just use killall samp03svr[pid] on Linux if I ever needed to force a restart via commandline, but I only hosted 1 SA-MP server on my server.

Restart server using SendRconCommand("exit") to make sure everything reloads properly.
