NWRestarter & NWMonitor- A Never Winter Nights Linux Server Admin Tool



You can get the NWR tarball here.

SUMMARY -------------

Never Winter Restarter is a tool for linux Never Winter Nights servers. It checks if the server is up or not. If it doesn't find the server running then it will start it up again. Also it checks how much of the CPU the server is using and if it is using more than 95% for more than one minute it shuts down and reboots the server.

INSTALLATION -------------

All you have to do to install is untar the files that came with this readme, NWRestarter and NWMonitor, into your NWN directory. Also you must have perl installed on your system. This normally comes with nearly every linux distro so I will not address it any further. When you run NWRestarter you must have the privlages to write to the NWN directory.

RUNNING -------------

NWRestarter 5121 "/usr/nwn/nwserver -module 'DEMO - A Bucket of Gnolls'"

To run it needs two arguments. The first is the port you will be running your NWN server on and the second is the nwserver file and any options you want to start the server with.
NOTE: It is recommended for security reasons that you type the full path to your nwserver file. Also, you need to put the second argument in double quotations and any server options you want to use such as -module or -playerpassword that have text inputs the input needs to be in SINGLE QUOTES.
