Constant Server Crashing

[Petroph]

After the 0.09392 update, having a dedicated server is sketchy at best. The server will remain up for a few mins to an hour before just randomly shutting down or crashes. There was a hotfix that was supposed to fix it, but then broke any action in regards to entering/exiting cores and computers. Then there was another hotfix to fix that hotfix.

Hotfix 2 fixed the problem firstly created with hotfix one, but does not fix the server crashing issues. It happens completely at random, and is getting fairly annoying as someone has to be “Constantly” monitoring the server and/or dedicated server box in order to keep the server up.

I’m sure many other dedicated server hosts would agree with me on this one, but please fix this issue. –Petroph

I can report the same issues with C3WNetworks.com:4242. I am just a player however it has been crashing all day since the updates.

 

[To Me Young Ones]

Yep, mpnetwork has been consistently crashing since the update as well.

don\'t know too much about starmade servers but my friend and I are hosting on linux, as far as ubntu goes you can use chronjob to schedule automatic server restarts

further more you could create a bash \"*.sh\" file which detects when the server has termnated or encountered an error, and restarts on such faults

an example of this file could be found on KAG forums (King Arthur\'s Gold) their file could be manipulated



nothing compete, but I hope this sparks some ideas

Hi schema!

Same by feedupyourbeast.de:4242 since 0.093922 ... Server crashes after 10 minutes or 30 minutes ... or hard one after 1 minute ...

@werid41
Thanx for you support ... but you dont think that professional server admins allready wrote bash scripts?

Cheers

Providing that you are using Linux or UNIX, you can delete the exisiting code inside your \"StarMade-dedicated-server-linux.sh\" file, used in running the server and change it to the following

#!/bin/bash

(
until java -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -jar StarMade.jar -server; do
echo \"StarMade crashed with exit code $?. Respawning... \" >&2
sleep 5
done
) &

The server will automatically restart after a crash. While this won\'t fix the problem of the server crashing in the first place, it will stop you from having to constantly restart the server itself, as the script will do it for you!

If you are using Windows, this script can still work, however you\'ll have to install Cygwin to run the .sh script.

 

[schema]

Does any admin of issue with server crashing have logs?

 

[IshtarStar]

Hi schema.

Allready send with java -jar CrashAndBugReport.jar -nogui to you.

Habe ich dir alles schon geschickt.

From: [email protected]

I use an other script but this works also:

#!/bin/bash

while :
do
if [ \"$(pgrep -f StarMade.jar)\" ]
then

echo $(date \"+%d.%m.%y %T\")\" : StarMade is running already\"

else

echo $(date \"+%d.%m.%y %T\")\" : StarMade is not running, launching ...\"

sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

sleep 10s

screen -dmS starmade java -Xms512m -Xmx4g -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -d64 -server -jar StarMade.jar -server

fi
sleep 20s
done

Cheers

check the reports you got sent from MadRealms. Seems there are countless crashes.

End of the log from the crash a few mins ago:

[Devion]

Same for our server (rushteamc). Tho I just wrote a quick restarter for it. There is a topic somewhere buried now in the bugs forum regarding projectiles that causes an exception (index err.). So fellow admins - check the log but go up a bit. The server shutdown message isn\'t interesting, it\'s the exception that\'s a bunch of lines above it.

Update:

Here\'s the post with the exception (posted yesterday) - http://star-made.org/content/server-projectile-pcghostobjext-server-shutdown

 

[Petroph]

Is this for a Linux Server? Or a Windows based server?

 

[NoPantsMcDance]

Here is the error.

[Petroph]

Is it possible to get a script together for the Windows server batch file to be restarted after the crash?

 

[Devion]

Easily done.

use :RestartHere



GOTO RestartHere ..

 

[ProfessorAsus]

Its for Linux servers. You could use the same script in windows though I think but you\'d have to install Cygwin, which provides a Unix-like environment under Windows -- but it doesn\'t have a particularly \"native\" environment.

[Petroph]

Put the server up, I go to work for 6 hours, I come back only to find out, the server crashed 6 hours ago. Last logs before crash. http://pastebin.com/h2rUM65A

This is getting quite tiresome.

 

[Petroph]

I dont mean to sound dumb, but can you please explain where im putting this in?

 

[Zelos]

Für windows :



SETLOCAL SETLOCAL DISABLEEXTENSIONS
:loop

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xshareff -jar StarMade.jar -server

if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
ENDLOCAL
exit
)


REM with the ping we can wait ca 4 sek
ping 127.0.0.1

goto loop
