[Improvements for the dedicated server]

Hey Alloc,

 

I just wanted to give you a headsup what i noticed the other day my server was filling up with memory (there where multiple instances running of the same instance). I was reading trough the scripts and saw that theese entire isrunning is based that the pid file exists.

 

I looked farther where you stop the server in kill.sh there is something which i do not know if it safe but you end the process with

if [ $(isRunning $1) -eq 1 ]; then

echo "Failed, force closing server..."

$SSD --stop --pidfile $(getInstancePath $1)/7dtd.pid

fi

 

$PKILL -TERM -P $(cat $(getInstancePath $1)/monitor.pid)

rm $(getInstancePath $1)/monitor.pid

 

rm $(getInstancePath $1)/7dtd.pid

 

 

After

 

$SSD --stop --pidfile $(getInstancePath $1)/7dtd.pid

 

You just assume that the Pid is gone and delete the

 

rm $(getInstancePath $1)/7dtd.pid

 

which then never allows the function isrunning (which prevent for multiple instances to run or indicates the process still runs) to get true and you can start multiple instances. I noticed that where the server crashed you killed the server the script said it was killed but ir was still in the process list and i could start another process caused than there to be 2.

 

Maybe if you get time you can look into that or just add an PS AUX there example:

PID=$(ps aux | grep $1 | grep 7DaysToDieServer | grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}')

f [ -z "$PID" ]; then

echo "$(date) - PROCESS IS DEFENTLY CLOSED"

else

echo "$(date) - PROCESS IS STILL ALIVE WHEN IT SHOUDN'T FOUND PID:$PID "

kill -9 $PID

fi

 

This is what i used to make sure it is Closed without trusting the start stop daemon

I had the issue with the map too no reaction not showing icons. I downloaded the svn and complied it myself uploaded the map addon no more issue. I was wondering why the map xml shows version 4 in the script tar but on the actually svn it shows 5.

[Improvements for the dedicated server]

i Run into 2 Issues:

 

First i run a server for weeks now in 32Bit mode instead of 64bit (should pay more attention).

I changed my start.sh.

 

i replaced this:

LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SDTD_BASE/engine $SSD --start $SSD_PID $SSD_DAEMON $SSD_USER --chdir $SDTD_BASE/engine --exec $SDTD_BASE/engine/7DaysToDieServer.x86 -- $OPTS > $(getInstancePath $1)/logs/stdout.log 2>&1

 

with this:

if [ $(uname -m) == 'x86_64' ]; then

LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SDTD_BASE/engine $SSD --start $SSD_PID $SSD_DAEMON $SSD_USER --chdir $SDTD_BASE/engine --exec $SDTD_BASE/engine/7DaysToDieServer.x86_64 -- $OPTS > $(getInstancePath $1)/logs/stdout.log 2>&1

else

LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SDTD_BASE/engine $SSD --start $SSD_PID $SSD_DAEMON $SSD_USER --chdir $SDTD_BASE/engine --exec $SDTD_BASE/engine/7DaysToDieServer.x86 -- $OPTS > $(getInstancePath $1)/logs/stdout.log 2>&1

fi

 

It Basicly detects the Kernel you are using if 32Bit or 64Bit and then starts either the 32bit executable or the 64bit executable.

 

 

The other one was the status.sh

 

i was getting Following Output:

Status: Running

Open ports:

23002 (tcp)

24000 (tcp)

25000 (udp)

25001 (udp)

25002 (udp)

Players: (standard

 

Game info:

Server name: North Carolina PVE

Password:

Max players: 32

World: Random Gen

 

See how the Current Players show (standard instead a number. Aparently this is an issue with grep if you took the regex out you got following output

Binary file (standard input) matches

 

so i change thi:

cur=$(telnetCommand $1 lp | grep -E "^\s?Total of " | cut -d\ -f 3)

 

and change this into:

cur=$(telnetCommand $1 lp | grep --text -E "^\s?Total of " | cut -d\ -f 3)

 

and got now following output:

Instance: NCSurvival

 

Status: Running

Open ports:

23002 (tcp)

24000 (tcp)

25000 (udp)

25001 (udp)

25002 (udp)

Players: 13

 

Game info:

Server name: North Carolina PVE

Password:

Max players: 32

World: Random Gen

 

i noticed the same thing in the instances.sh

Instance name | Running | Players | Port

---------------------+----------+---------+------

NCSurvival | yes | (standard/32 | 25000

test | no | -/ 4 | 25100

 

changed there:

cur=$(telnetCommand $I lp | grep -E "^\s?Total of " | cut -d\ -f 3)

into:

Instance name | Running | Players | Port

---------------------+----------+---------+------

NCSurvival | yes | 14/32 | 25000

test | no | -/ 4 | 25100

server:~# 7dtd.sh instances list

Instance name | Running | Players | Port

---------------------+----------+---------+------

NCSurvival | yes | 14/32 | 25000

test | no | -/ 4 | 25100

server:~# 7dtd.sh instances list

Instance name | Running | Players | Port

---------------------+----------+---------+------

NCSurvival | yes | 14/32 | 25000

test | no | -/ 4 | 25100

server:~# 7dtd.sh instances list

Instance name | Running | Players | Port

---------------------+----------+---------+------

NCSurvival | yes | 14/32 | 25000

test | no | -/ 4 | 25100

 

Maybe this helps somebody!
