The batch files launch the server in Session 0 (the services session) so that adds another layer.When you were shutting down the services, you were shutting down the batch file. The server the batch file launched, on the other hand, kept right on running.Here's the right way to set up FireDaemon: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.chris.perry@gmail.com 17 Posted May 20, 2012 I've been trying to get this to work for my server, but it doesn't seem to want to work. It won't load the config files correctly, my argument string is exactly the same as my startdayzserver.bat file, which starts it up perfectly. It launches the server as a standard 64 man arma server.

dizzymagoo 19 Posted May 21, 2012 Unfortunately production on this has been stopped until the DayZ staff decide to return my requests to have my server added to the whitelist. I have nothing to test it on... I appreciate the sticky though!Also, for the people having issues with the .net. Try installing .NET Framework 4... I use to have it included in an installer but later decided that was a bad idea. I might revert back to it though. As mentioned above, production is stopped until further notice!

This sucks, we need some sort of monitor that doesn't cost 30 bucks, I can't baby sit my server all day, I have to work/sleep.Edit: This is not a jab at Dizzymagoo, rather at the situation of not having a server monitor because the one that is supposed to be what we use, can't even be developed because he can't get access to test it. I greatly appreciate the work that he has already done, and hope that he can continue it, because I'd love to use his program, I just can't get it to load the correct settings file for some reason, even though the argument string is the same as the one in my batch file. If any other server admins have advice for that, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dizzymagoo 19 Posted May 21, 2012 Finally got on the whitelist! I'll try and get a new version out tomorrow!I did just run a test of the current version on my server. It loaded everything up perfectly... Can you all please PM me screenshots of the following. Your processes list from the server, and the log file from the program. The log file should be located in the folder you're running the program from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demine0 43 Posted May 21, 2012 So, the program seems to be working on Windows Server 2008 R2. I did notice one error though AFTER my inital setup of the program. I opened the program once, and configured everything. I clicked start, and nothing happened. I noticed "No Config Found!" in the log, so I figured I needed to restart it. I restarted the application and received the following error:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.************** Exception Text **************System.InvalidOperationException: No process is associated with this object. at System.Diagnostics.Process.EnsureState(State state) at System.Diagnostics.Process.EnsureState(State state) at System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessHandle(Int32 access, Boolean throwIfExited) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill() at ArmaWatchDog.Form1.btn_stop_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)************** Loaded Assemblies **************mscorlib Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.261 (RTMGDR.030319-2600) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/mscorlib.dll----------------------------------------ArmaWatchDog Assembly Version: 1.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 1.0.0.0 CodeBase: file:///C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/dayzmodserverwatchdogv2/ArmaWatchDog.exe----------------------------------------Microsoft.VisualBasic Assembly Version: 10.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 10.0.30319.1 built by: RTMRel CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Microsoft.VisualBasic/v4.0_10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll----------------------------------------System Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.261 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.dll----------------------------------------System.Core Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.233 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Core/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Core.dll----------------------------------------System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.235 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Windows.Forms/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll----------------------------------------System.Drawing Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.276 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll----------------------------------------System.Runtime.Remoting Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1 (RTMRel.030319-0100) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Runtime.Remoting/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Runtime.Remoting.dll----------------------------------------************** JIT Debugging **************To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for thisapplication or computer (machine.config) must have thejitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.The application must also be compiled with debuggingenabled.For example:When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exceptionwill be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computerrather than be handled by this dialog box.I have my check time set to 60 seconds.

dizzymagoo 19 Posted May 22, 2012 As for the batch script... okay now make it restart the hive on crash... Your script is WAY over complicated.

The monitor that the DayZ staff is working on has a bug in it that they're having issues fixing, so I've just been running the server without a monitor and restarting it manually when it crashes. Your monitor so far does everything we need, including the hive restart which is very useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-PR-Z-MaSSive 1 Posted May 23, 2012 As for hive restart that can be done too but it makes batch script complicated. This what I did now is not even close to complicated as it can be. For now its just starting starting OA server, monitors for crashes and starts it again if close or crash occurs. Also it creates logs folder where its dumping log files with dates and times of restarts.Problem is that batch script cant close dialogs so if it crashes with popup dialog it wont continue. I suggest you find a free alternative for that, but by far best application for that is Firedaemon GA PRO. Ive been using it for my gameservers in days when I ran on Windows and with proper configuration it works flawlessly and has web interface > Fusion < which can be controlled over web by anyone that has login info.FI/EU servers use it at the moment so ask Soppa (http://sisu.kompassi.com/) for opinion on it.
