you should open all needed ports i guess at your Firewall.

sorry, then i do not know about. guess it's Linux (not my world).

you are running two servers?
but you use different ports for the two servers, right?

Sometimes the port appears to be blocked by accident or because its being used often, I think this causes the problem.

Hello again;)

Sorry to write back after such a long time, but I had a hard week at work.

My friend wrote a script "watcher". It controls the server log file when it detects an error, the server starts again

Don't you wanna share it?

For the Windows geeks made on the fly:

@echo off &setlocal

set a= 1

:start
FINDSTR /I /C:"Ongoing port test died" e:\25Assist\armyops\system\aa25.log > NUL && goto found

goto start


:found
Echo "Server Error found..." >> e:\Error.log
Echo %date% %time% >> e:\Error.log
Echo "Going to restart Server" >> e:\Error.log

taskkill /f /t /im server.exe > NUL


copy e:\25Assist\armyops\system\aa25.log "e:\aa25backup%a%.log"
del e:\25Assist\armyops\system\aa25.log

set /a a= %a% + 1

ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > NUL

start e:\25Assist\armyops\System\server.exe GLOBAL map-filename etc.


goto start


Checks aa25.log for "Ongoing port test died".
If its found the script records his findings with timestamp in "Error.log"

It then will shut down the server and make a copy of the current aa25.log which is stored to aa25backupXXX.log.
(Whereupon XXX is the consecutive number.)

At final steps it deletes aa25.log and restarts the server.


Change folders and startup options to your own needs.



My personal opinion:
You should'nt meddle with the problem.
If there is an error you need to get the reason, thats the point.


PS: Opening ALL PORTS server side makes computer security related guys like me think:
OMFG!

You would hesitate to open all doors of your house only to have the postman deliver his letters, wouldn't you?
