shutdown server

[melanie]

Since im new to this forum and a newbie what linux is concerned i wasnt sure i posted my question in the right section. Therefor i hope you dont mind i post here as well, im just really hoping for some answer. Heres what i posted in the gamesection yesterday.

Lately i have had to take over adminning of our gameservers due to circumstances. I didnt have any experience with linux or gameservers but so far everything went ok with a lot of help from forums and google and stuff.
But now i have a problem. Yesterday i tried restarting a map after removing a mutator from the server and it crashed. I have acces to it through putty so i checked whats wrong. Now i cant seem to turn off the server anymore. if i use ps -ef it seems to be still running but beneath it theres a line saying ucc-bin <disfunct> I have tried the kill/killall commands but nothing works. I have used the script to try and start it again and it seems the server is starting cause theres a new line appearing so there seem to be 2 servers at the same time and the line i named before. But the server just doesnt work. Its not accesible through webadmin or through the game. How can i turn off the "gostserver" and get rid of that disfunct line and start my server back up? Anyone that has any ideas or more questions or anything pls let me know cause i ran out of ideas.
Oh yeah dont know if its important but i have Debian linux on a remote dedicated server

I really hope someone can help me with this problem

You could restart the machine with '/sbin/shutdown -r now', then log in again after it restarts...

Thanks! that solves part of the problem. I restarted the linuxserver than started up my ut server again and it seems to run fine. I than discovered that somehow some of my ports where closed again while they used to be open so i opened all necesary ports again. Now the server seems to run fine when i check in putty and also webadmin works but ingame i still cant join my server. Any ideas on what might still be wrong?

Update: Thanks again for the help, the rest of the problem i managed to fix myself so everything is working the way it should again.
