Monitoring and restarting server (Linux)

Post by Barbie »

Because my server sometimes falls asleep after finishing a map, I wrote this little bash script: It checks if the server is responding at port (usually) 7778, and, if not, all server instances are terminated and a new server instance is started. The script is still in beta status, so candle with hair. Also it is not tested for multiple different server instances on different ports. But for me it has run fine the last months. Maybe it is helpful for someone:
ServerMonitor.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

###############################################################################
#
# This script monitors a process (called "server" from now on) that should run forever. It needs an external program to detect server's alive status and another command to (re)start the server.
# It is intended to run from a cron job.
#
# Parameters: (none)
# Exit codes:
#	0 if server is responding or was (re)started successfully
#	1 on wrong variable settings, problems with needed files, failing server termination or starting
#
# History:
# 2017-02-26
# * first release

I'm not sure if you will not want to hunt the factor trouble maker, rather than working in outside...

I tried to hunt the error of course... until GameInfo's function EndGame(). I added some logging there and that function terminates successful every game. So the problem must occur after that function, and what happens after EndGame() is beyond my knowledge.

What? :what:

Another reason for that monitoring is that the UT server is started automatically, when the host was rebooted.

A few recalls from my malformed brain:
- when I was playing in your server I have downloaded some stuff which usually I don't do - some objects, tests, bla bla I never used such things and I don't know if last crash occured in my server-machine was not my fault toward some A.I. and nothing else from UT itself;
- Map 3072 which you said that it does left over effects for classes in next maps loaded for me sounds like BAD THING which also doesn't occur to me - I was testing these tens of times 3072 - Train Commando with modified Kralls and then normal Kralls and again and again. This proves that your server does a travel without "cleaning" things. These left over (from some Maps and/or server tools) objects I think are your trouble's root. AFTER Travel, server should have stuff properly loaded with no changes from above Level, proving that your garbage collector is doing wrong it's job, or Next Level doesn't load default things, it seems to not reload packages, and it seems that it's using what was previously loaded and which is being screwed from memory, probably UnrealI, UnrealShare aren't getting fresh content and they are reused or some properties blocks garbage collector from unloading data. I guess this drives to memory fragmentation at a moment because that data... for some reason will get screwed based on whatever combination or bad handling.

My opinion, do some test Level with stuff screwing classes with no ini files and which doesn't do any SaveConfig - Team byte for creature. Then do another the same type, without modifiers. Load them one by one in Windoze at home, and then in rented services, see what happens with that byte in next level - do it simple. Go figure stuff in presence of XCGE with no major options. If works normally, start loading a mapvote, then another thing used, see when stuff goes evil and you'll see who is the cancer for garbage collector.

Perhaps I have to do 2 Levels Test_A and Test_B, one of them being crapped, other one being normal, and... figuring if Test_A affects Test_B somehow. Else you can relax spectating, letting Bots to do the job and testing Levels for you...

Related to rented servers. I think those companies are able to track functionality and they are able to reboot machine if something starts to have malfunctions. I have even been noticed about something. "If game server runs for more than X seconds at 99% CPU, server will be restarted". They seems to know whatever things... even have new launchers done by themselves...

I did a search in the logs of the last months and noticed that neither UnrealI.u nor UnrealShare.u is unloaded on a map travel. BotPack.u gets unloaded only sometimes. Is that specific to linux version of UT?
But this would explain why changed default settings ("UnrealI.Krall.RangedProjectile" for example) are not reset by a map change.

It is a rented root server - this means I have to manage all by myself. Especially restarting UT after host has been rebooted.

I'm not sure if cannot be a reason for bugging things packages like HauntedCreatures, btw. See "awesome" content there. For me conforming another one was not that easy but I did it. Those speed values... really makes no sense... some people were seriously sick and I'm afraid that a brain surgery will never help them...

I see BotPack, UnrealI, UnrealShare and everything including stuff triggering travel like MapVote. Probably is a Linux issue or some 451 default issue. What I have in sample is a 440, and what I see it's even 2 maps old and new (referenced for travel and preloaded ?).

Of course I cannot say that I'm 100% happy. After these conforming tunes and testing then even in client multiple times, I went to something changed in client and you don't wanna see what's happening in that case. So I saved UBrowser.int, UT.ini, User.ini and... I fully deleted client then reinstalled it clean. Now it do works properly (client), because server was running mainly everything which I did with no rejections...
I could see that that a Gen2 package from client joining to server with an updated Gen2 will go messy and even it's crashing. Also this happens when a Gen2 is not very compatible with Gen1 calling functions different... Eheh I got more client crashes than server-crashes until to figure what's going on. Cough Higor, conforming packages by those old "coders" having no clue about writing a good code for MH game is a myth... to be honest I prefer a direct mismatch rejection leaving conforming operation for stock stuff, on purpose to smooth server and leaving some non stock away... A mismatch is always forcing client to use the same file (by removing old file) having 100% compatibility with server, and cache is pretty much helpful for hosting multiple versions with no issues.
