Relaunch doesnt Relaunch: UT2004 in XP Pro

[Flybye]

Hi everyone. My first post

First, I know I had to setup the server as an XP service. XP starts and the UT server service starts up perfectly. I can enter a game, access WebAdmin, etc. Everything is perfect.

But now that I have the thing installed, I'm constantly tweaking it. And entering Relaunch into the command line does NOT relaunch it. I can restart the server service through the service's window, but it can never relaunch itself when I give it the command.

In the service window, I even made sure in the "Recovery" tab for "First, Second & Subsequent failures" that I have "Restart the Service" and it is setup for 1 minute.

And it still can't restart itself.

So anyone with any ideas, I'm all eyes

Thx

I run a server on a Win2K Server as a service. (so this may or may not apply to your WinXP Pro situation) The service is a batch file (which starts the ucc server) not just a ucc command line. I generally stop the service to make permanent changes to the server though.

Are you using a batch file as the service starter or just a command line ?

Service -> runserver.bat

runserver.bat
@echo off
:10
ucc server DM-Phobos2?Game=XGame.xDeathMatch? -log=server.log
copy server.log servercrash.log
goto 10

I have the recovery section setup to take no action, the batch file takes care of the restart. If you needed a pause to make changes you could always add a sleep statement in the batch i suppose.

runserver.bat
@echo off
:10
ucc server DM-Phobos2?Game=XGame.xDeathMatch? -log=server.log
copy server.log servercrash.log
sleep 60
goto 10

Wow...using the .bat COMPLETLY blew my mind. I was using the command line + parameters to start ucc.exe

It works perfectly now. Thx!!
