Starting Bot as a service on a Linux system

<< < (2/2)

tsafarog:
Thank you very much for your help problem solved

Shelly:
If you are only running a single bot... you can also do

to keep a log:
nohup /usr/bin/php -f <bothome>/StartBot.php <botname> 2>&1 > <bothome>/<botname>.log &

or to maintain space:
nohup /usr/bin/php -f <bothome>/StartBot.php <botname> 2>&1 > /dev/null &

I use a script to start my bots so I don't have to remain logged into the server...
start_<botname>.sh

--- Code: ---#!/bin/bash
 
#
##
### Check for AO Bots and restart if necessary
##
#
# This script looks to see if your bot is actually running and does nothing if it is
# already running.
# If it is not running, it will email you the previous log, then compress it to concerve space.

# The BOT* items you will need to configure for your bot.
BOTHOME="/home/bot/BeBot"
BOTNAME="Your_Bot_Character_Name"
BOTLOGS="/home/bot"
BOTLOG_Archive=${BOTLOGS}/log_archive

mdate=`date +%b-%d-%Y`;
hdate=`date +%b-%d-%Y_%H%M_hrs`;

z=`ps -ef |grep ${BOTNAME} |grep -v grep`;
if [[ $z == "" ]]
then {
  # comment this next line out if you don't want the previous log emailed to you.
  mailx -s "Starting ${BOTNAME} bot " [email protected] <${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ;
  if [ -e "${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate}.Z" ]
  then {
    mv ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate};
    /usr/bin/compress ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate};
  }
  else {
    mv ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${hdate};
    /usr/bin/compress ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${hdate};
  };
  fi
  cd ${BOTHOME}; /usr/bin/php -f ${BOTHOME}/StartBot.php ${BOTNAME} 2>&1 > ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log &
}
fi
