Command line arguements for flserver.exe ?

Mon Mar 10, 2003 5:55 pm by Max Steele

Are there any command line arguements for flserver.exe so it can load up automatically when run instead of requiring user input before the server comes up?

If someone wants a persistent server that is up 24/7, this type of option is necessary. **** happens. Servers crash, computers crash, power goes out/comes back on, etc.... Even if there isn't an option to load the server when it crashes, at least have the option so when you run the executable, it puts the server up with all previous settings intact and does not require user input.

That post has nothing to do with the issue I'm asking about.

When the flserver.exe is ran, it requires user input to actually start the server. A "Server configuration" dialog pops up, and wants you to push "OK" to accept the settings like the name, the description, etc...

If the server were to crash for whatever reason, and I was running a utility to auto-restart it, it would run the flserver.exe, but then this "server configuration" would come up again, requiring user input to push "OK".

I find it hard to believe that they would require the server to have user interaction every single time the server is launched. This is crazy, and defeats the purpose of a dedicated server.

Then you didnt read the thread.

If you would have read the thread, you would have seen that the /c switch will allow you to bypass the OK prompt and use the last settings.

And if you read it further, you would read on how to set it up as a service and not even have to log in.

Yep, I totally missed all that.

Unfortunately, running it this way does not allow you to interact with the server at all. So you can't look at user accounts, send messages to people who are online, etc...

Shame.
