Looking for Linux help

[DM_Vecna]

1. Does anyone have a way to launch nwnx2 on reboot of ubuntu server? Normally when I restart my server I
start a new screen
cd/nordock/awakening
./nwnstartup.sh
detach from the screen
log out

But I am new to Linux and not sure how to add a startup script.

2. I am looking for a way from in game to activate my nwnx2 restart script. Normally from the command line I
screen -x
exit
This would on shut down fire my startup script but I am looking for the best way to do this from in game.


Thanks so much!

You can start scripts on reboot through the rc.d system, or by using the @reboot directive in crontab, among other ways.

I don't run a PW, I mostly just code, so I actually can't answer what conventions admins use to gracefully restart their servers "in game".

The baseball bat method (I am sure there is much better), I suppose is to have a job ocassionally poll the database for when its time and excecute the necessary kill/restart commands. In game, your restart condition can be placed into the DB via nwnx2 using a self-created DM tool or some such..
