HNGamers DayZ Server Watcher Thingie

Recommended Posts

Nice work visad, looks very much like GUI COD admin tools for COD4. I'm assuming this tool needs to run on the server itself or can it be run remotely?

It is being designed to run on the server itself, since the majority of the code is looking for an .exe. Once the development has proceeded far enough to allow me some breathing room, I might fork it and create a remote version.

Good to know, I'll be keeping an eye on it!

Which programs would you like to have shut down? I can create a section so that you can pop in an application name to search for and shutdown. It would be a hard reset on these items though.

Sorry, I was pretty vague.

Your program checks to see if the server has crashed or is hanging and then restarts it. Would it be possible to have a feature where it starts other programs with the server in these cases? For example, if my server crashes and your program goes to restart it, can it kick off BEC at the same time? Only problem I have right now is that BEC shuts off once the server crashes and I'd like it to restart with the server.

I can have it start just about any application you want, I created a task to look into this for you.

Awesome. Can't wait to try this out!

Thanks for putting all this work in for the server admin community.

I updated the top post with a download URL, the software has progressed far enough where we can start providing an alpha build for those who want to test and keep up with the development. There are two build packages that can be downloaded, standard builds done through me requesting a build and a Nightly build. In each of the builds there will be a x86 and x64 build as well. Nightly builds are kicked off every night at 3 am and will contain any changes that occur throughout the day. Days without any changes will not generate a build.

Build Format

DayZServerWatcher_(YEAR)(MONTH)(DAY).(BUILD NUMBER)

Nightlies_(YEAR)(MONTH)(DAY).(BUILD NUMBER)

Example build: DayZServerWatcher_20120726.16
