Title: [done] "Close after this game" Option for Headless Server
Post by: titi_son on 13 November 2012, 20:09:14

I think it would be a great future for the headless server if you just can write something like

Code: [Select]

stopaftergamein the Terminal and then the headless server close after the game which is running on it.

We often run a headless here if we see that the servers are all full but if we want to shut down the Computer we often see that a new game has Started on the server and we don't want to break this game. But if we could about a hour before we shut down just use this command it would be nice.

I am not sure if i am the only one who want this feature. So what do you think?

I guess this could be useful for people who run a headless server on a desktop computer.

You can already achieve this now with a little bit of scripting, though. Run the headless server with --headless-server-mode=vps,exit in a loop which can get interrupted by, e.g., presence of a file

Code: [Select]

~/.megaglest/quit_after_this_gameThen when you want to shutdown, just create this file and the headless server will quit after the currently running or the next started game is over.

maybe we should provide a start script to run headless servers?

You mean something like ... this (http://wiki.megaglest.org/Dedicated_Server#Game_server_automation)?
Admittedly the current script is rather simple and it surely could be improved (or rewritten). Then it could make a good addition to the subversion repository.

Is this feature request considered done then?
