Badly need a way to auto-restart server.
Hi all,
My isp currently runs one of the only freelancer servers in Aus, but as such they can barely keep it running because it crashes so often (anything from 1 hour to 1 minute, no joke). This wouldnt be a problem as they have tools to automatically restart processes when they die etc - however - when Freelancer crashes it pops up a message which requires human interaction to click on before it can be restarted. The server admins dont have time to sit there all day babysitting it and so it usually stays offline for hours after it dies, while all the players go nuts waiting.
So, does ANYONE know how to keep a Freelancer server going without human interaction? Anyone know of any good tools, utils anything that could help us out.
We already know about the /c switch to start the server up just so you know
Thanks for any help at all.
