Game Server Startup Script 1.1
September 16th, 2004 by CrusaderVersion 1.1 of the Game ServerStartup Script, a Perl script designed to help manage the operation ofvarious games’ dedicated servers, is now available(thanks Freshmeat):
GSSS waswritten because I wanted a way to start up a variety of games ina standard way. Then I also wanted to make sure the games stayed running evenafter a crash. So I wrote this perl script. It will start games and through acronjob make sure they stay running. If you have qstat installed it can alsoverifythe game is running like it is suppose to be and not in some strange statewhereno one can play. If the game is running but unresponsive, it kills it andstartsit again. You can also stop running games cleanly as well.
Support for Quake 2/3, UT2003/2004, Tribes 2, RTCW/ET, and NWN is included.

Now this is a *really* useful tool; especially for remote-admins.
One thing thats a little shaky is the usage syntax:
‘games stop’ to stop all servers and:
‘games stop [name]‘ to stop an individual one – one little trip of the finger and they’re all gone ;)
