December 28, 200421 yr i will be gone starting wednesday, dec 29 thru about jan 10. if anyone would like to run this server please contact me thru MSN chat budkrake@hotmail.com or email me krake@charter.net what i need you to do is run a virtual network program to access the server every so often to make sure it is running the HLDS. i will give you all the passwords and you can have admin rights to the server (rcon password). thank you!

December 28, 200421 yr Not so sure about the virtual network program thing. Most people use Remote Desktop this doesnt require the admin to have a program. What server do you run? Also if you want to give rcon it can all be done from HLSW....no need for anyone to run any programs that could leave them open to hackers We have several people that are good with security type stuff that would be willing to help you. Just PM me the details of exactly what your want done.
December 28, 200421 yr Author Well, I use VNC to get into my computer. I just want someone to get in and start the server after it crashes, unless someone knows a way to restart it automatically??!!! i use a Dell server with windows XP. i use the dedicated server in steam. it crashes about every 3 hours.

When I used to run a server I used ServerDoc. It would automatically bring the server back online after a crash.

FireDaemon I think is the name of a good program that will do just that. We use it to restart our server after a crash. Then you can just tell your server to restart or even exit via rcon and it will pop back up. What is the name of your server and what kind of game server is it?
December 28, 200421 yr firedaemon will restart it automaticly but u still might want someone to watch it cuz we had problems with the dol server not restarting with the program.
December 28, 200421 yr Author actually, i have no idea where to being with firedaemon. i just downloaded and installed it on the server, but what do i do next? will this work with steam?
December 28, 200421 yr yes it works...not sure how to set it up but you are basically making steam a service on the server.
December 28, 200421 yr Author i added a the lines into a service for firedaemon, but i have no idea if it is correct.... it doesnt start the game after i stop server. hmm, i'll look at some forumns...
December 28, 200421 yr Author what is the basic command line for starting a normal server? something like..... "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\steamID\dedicated server\hlds.exe" -game firearms +maxplayers 21 +map ps_marie or am i missing something?... mine keeps crashing when i try to bring it up with that command line....
