Scheduled server crashes

By: Adam Plumb 15.9 years ago
I've gotten Serpentine to a point where it can run almost indefinitely with little trouble, except for one bug that crashes it every few weeks. I know roughly what the bug is, but I haven't been able to find a fix for it, so the result is the game server crashes every few weeks without notice. I don't really like that, so I wrote a small utility that will automatically restart the server every sunday morning at 4AM EST. My logs show that this is right around the period of lowest web traffic, so hopefully it won't affect too many people. The restart shouldn't take more than a minute, and it'll happen at the same time every week so late-nighters can plan around it.
