linux-restarter

This tutorial will walk you through creating a script to restart AzerothCore after a shutdown, restart, or crash when using a Linux server.

The easiest way to setup a restarter is by using our integrated scripts or docker

However, the following guy will show you how to create your own restarter from scratch.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that your Linux server has screen and nano installed.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install screen nano
  • Once you've installed screen and nano, continue on to the next step.

Script Creation

  • Navigate to your server bin directory ~/azeroth-server/bin and type nano auth.sh
  • In the new nano screen, enter the following script:
#!/bin/sh
while :; do
./authserver
sleep 20
done
  • Once entered, press Ctrl + O, hit Enter, and then Ctrl + X. That will save the new script and return you to the terminal. We've just created the Authserver restart script. Let's next create the Worldserver script.
  • Type nano world.sh
  • In the new nano screen, enter the following script:
while :; do
./worldserver
sleep 20
done
  • Once entered, press Ctrl + O, hit Enter, and then Ctrl + X. That will save the new script and return you to the terminal. We've just created the Worldserver restart script. Let's next create a script that will launch both the Authserver and Worldserver restarter scripts.
  • Type nano restarter.sh
#!/bin/bash
screen -AmdS auth ./auth.sh
screen -AmdS world ./world.sh
  • Once entered, press Ctrl + O, hit Enter, and then Ctrl + X. Finally, let's create our server shutdown script.
  • Type nano shutdown.sh
#!/bin/bash
screen -X -S "world" quit
screen -X -S "auth" quit
  • Once entered, press Ctrl + O, hit Enter, and then Ctrl + X. Next, let's start our server.

Server Startup

  • To start your server with the scripts, ensure you are in you server bin directory ~/azeroth-server/bin.
  • We will start the restart scripts by typing the following command ./restarter.sh
  • Side note: If you wish to start the server and see the worldserver console, use the following command ./restarter.sh; screen -r world

Server Monitoring

  • To access and view the Authserver or Worldserver consoles: – Authserver: screen -r auth – Worldserver: screen -r world
  • When you want to exit the screen and return to your terminal, type Ctrl + A, followed by D.

Server Shutdown

  • To terminate the restarter and shutdown your server, ensure you are in you server bin directory ~/azeroth-server/bin.
  • Type ./shutdown.sh and the scripts will turn off and your server will terminate.
