Startupscript for Debian

[Iowahc]

Hy there. Is there a startup Script for Debian / Ubuntu?

The Server runs on a Root-Server and I don't want to have a ssh connection open while running the mangos-server.

Anyone can help me?

Use screen, and don't use root when you don't have to.

Well, would there be a better, more debian way to use mangos as a daemon?

@Patman128: Thanks for the tip. an I am not running mangos as root. just on a root-server.

I haven't used a debian based OS for over a year, but it would be pretty straight forward to write one. Just make a simple shell script that takes in an argument and passes it to a switch-case looking for the words start,stop,restart and execute the appropriate commands. just make sure in mangosd.conf to turn on / higher your error log file reporting so in the event of a crash you have something to look at.

Also you may want to configure mangos to create PID files for worldd and realmd so that you have a way of knowing their process id's without relying on pgrep or similar (also useful for multi world/realm servers)
