Crash Server

ok, so if that script is working, time to put it in cron. follow my steps (1 - 3) from post #2 - just substitute the path to this script for /tmp/minecraft-cron.sh, or whatever i called it initially.

[Joaogl]

so this?

1. cd into the system cron directory:
Code:

/etc/cron.d

2. create a new file with an editor, call it "minecraft"

3. in it, put the following:
Code:

# run minecraft cronjob every 5 min, send script output to log
*/5 * * * * root /root/cron_minecraft.sh > /tmp/minecraft-cronjob.log 2>&1

to ts is like this:



1. cd into the system cron directory:

/etc/cron.d

2. create a new file with an editor, call it "ts3"

3. in it, put the following:
Code:

# run ts3 cronjob every 5 min, send script output to log
*/5 * * * * root /root/cron_ts3.sh > /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1




this?

[atreyu]

# run ts3 cronjob every 5 min, send script output to log
*/5 * * * * root /root/cron_ts3.sh > /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1

if the script you've made is here:

/home/joaogl/Documents/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh

then that is what you want to run. also, i assume you want to run it as your regular user, not root - is that true? anyway, just put whatever user you want it to run as where i've put "joaogl".

here is what i think you want:

*/5 * * * * joaogl /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh > /tmp/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1

here's a break-down of the above line:

*/5 * * * *                     <-cron will call this script every five minutes

joaogl                          <- run this script as user joaogl

/home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh <- the script that will be run

>                               <- redirect the output of the script

/tmp/ts-cronjob.log             <- name of file where output is saved

2>&1                            <- redirect STDOUT and STDERR

[Joaogl]

so like this?

cd /home/joaogl/Documents/ts3/ts3
nano ts3.sh

*/5 * * * * joaogl /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh > /tmp/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1

save it and now?

[atreyu]

so like this?

cd /home/joaogl/Documents/ts3/ts3
nano ts3.sh

*/5 * * * * joaogl /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh > /tmp/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1

save it and now?

no, forget the "cd" and the "nano" part - they are confusing you.

just use crontab. be sure to run it as your regular user. run it with the "-e" parameter (e for edit). then enter the code:

*/5 * * * * /home/joaogl/ts3/ts3/ts-cron.sh > /tmp/ts-cronjob.log 2>&1

then save it. you probably need to enter the sequence :wq to "write" and "quit" the crontab editor (usually it is "vi").

Edit: notice you are leaving out the username in the crontab code this time!

Edit2: you can list your cron jobs with the "-l" parameter, e.g.:

crontab -l

again, run it as the user who created the cronjob.

after you've confirmed that it is there, look at the log in /tmp/ts-cronjob.log after 5 min have passed...

[Joaogl]

Can you give me the commands to understand?

[atreyu]

Are you talking about understanding cron? In a terminal, make sure you are a regular user (not root), and run this command:

crontab -e

This will edit the current crontab for the user that ran the command. It will open the crontab in an editor (probably vi). Press the i key to enter insert mode. You can tell because at the bottom of the terminal window, you should see -- INSERT --. Then you would type the crontab line as I instructed in post #25 above. Then you would press the <Esc> key to get out of insert mode, the press :wq to write and quit the editor.

Once you are back in to your shell prompt, you can list the crontab like this:

crontab -l

is that what you meant?

[Joaogl]

Ive done exactly like you but it says no crontab for joaogl

[Joaogl]

now its working .

But how can i open the server with the anti-crash?

[atreyu]

But how can i open the server with the anti-crash?

er, what? by "open the server", do you mean start the TeamSpeak server? What do you mean by anti-crash?
