Script number 1, named startgtaserver.sh Quote: #!/bin/bash cd /home/sampsvr while [ true ] do cat /home/sampsvr/server_log.txt >> /home/sampsvr/gamelog.txt ./samp01b done This one goes near the server binary Second script, named gtaserver: Quote: #!/bin/bash server_start() { /home/sampsvr/startgtaserver.sh & # put in full path and name of startup script } server_stop() { killall startgtaserver.sh # your startup script name killall samp01b # need to put in path to killall if its not in $PATH } server_restart() { server_stop sleep 1 server_start } case "$1" in 'start') server_start ;; 'stop') server_stop ;; 'restart') server_restart ;; *) echo "usage $0 start|stop|restart" esac this one goes in /usr/local/bin Just change paths in bouth scripts to yours, then you can start your server by typing gtaserver start stop server by typing gtaserver stop and finaly restart it by typing gtaserver restart the first script is responsible for keep your server up and running. The second script is responsible for starting/stoping and restarting a server. So, as you can see, no crond is involved. And if you want your server to start automatically with your linux, put a line gtaserver start in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local , for example. (at least in System V -based os) Hope it helps you edited some typos and removed unnesessary coments from a script and named bouth scripts for better understanding.

i need help with this. i don't know how to make it work. can somebody help me?
