DeadWeight85 (DayZ) 1 Posted June 30, 2012 I just recenetly started hosting a server and was looking for some information on a script or what not that restarts the server. Also I was wondering if there is a way to change you timezone with one of these scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffCraig 1 Posted June 30, 2012 Some of us use FireDaemon to do server restarts. It has a 30 day free trial and then it costs $40 or something.Dizzymagoo made a script to do restarts, but I've never used it. Here is a link to his thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2922I think you can just use normal windows task scheduling to run it as a normal service, but I have not tried that either.I like FireDaemon because it's easy to add Sykotix server utilities (for automated log rotating and ban script updating). You can find his scripts here:http://dayz.sykotix.com/dayz-server-utilities/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm. (DayZ) 28 Posted June 30, 2012 i created a batch file to restart the firedaemon services we have setup. The batch file gets run @ 6am,12pm,6pm,12am. I have also setup BEC to warn players of the impending restart. It is literally 5-6 lines in a batch file and shouldn't be hard for you to figure out.

Zoop 343 Posted July 15, 2012 Anyone willing to help me with FireDaemon? I've got mine set up exactly like this, but it isn't working. working directory is set to my own directory, of course, but the other settings are all the same. I run the script in FireDaemon, but it just never restarts the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khalimerot 76 Posted July 29, 2012 If you search a little on the web , you can use the arma2oa server as a windows service with SRVANY http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverMigration/thread/98a97aee-c62b-4683-94ab-3777899cf7de/and making a batch with Net start "service" // net stop "service"in scheduled task manager.

ebianbluefox 29 Posted July 29, 2012 On my servers I run the service with FireDaemon and do restarts with BEC scheduler #shutdown, It makes it so that even if the server crashes it will always restart at the same time everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khalimerot 76 Posted August 1, 2012 For those who used Firedaemon you also have a good free alternative it's called NSSM , it change your exe files with parameters in a service , like Srvany from microsoft , but it has a sort of watchdog that will see if the exe is crashed or not , and you can setup what to do if the exe crash in the services setup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
