Hello,

I'm not sure where to post this, after asking around I was told to come here an asking the question, so here goes.

I have a game server on a linux machine, and sometimes the server crashes while I am away. I need a script that checked every 5 minutes whether the server is running, and if not, start it in a screen.

This is how I manually get the server up:
screen -dmS sphere ./spheresvr

Umm.. I'm not sure what else to say, except the system specs:
Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp
Apache version: 1.3.33 (Unix)
PERL version: 5.8.4
PHP version: 4.3.10
MySQL version: 4.0.22-standard
cPanel Build 10.0.0-RELEASE 112

If I am in the wrong place, could you please point me in the right direction (bear in mind I'm a total newbie to scripts and all these things )

Thank you,

Add a cronjob.

Run "crontab -e" to get the config file.
