My understanding is that B3 monitors the console logs.  I have a script that runs a midnight each day.  The script copies console_mp_server.log and games_mp.log to a new name in a new location, then echos a blank beginning line to empty the file.

I did this instead of moving the file as it didn't break the logging in COD.  We've noticed though it is breaking B3.  I want to inject a restart.  I tried both of the following, but they just don't seem to be responding.

"echo '  18:52 say;myid;4;myname;^U!restart' >> .callofduty/uo/games_mp.log;"
"echo '^U^9myname^7: ^U!restart' >> .callofduty/uo/console_mp_server.log"

Do you have a suggestion on how to do this?  Or is there a way to reset the logs without killing b3?

Thank you!

On my servers (Urbanterror, not Cod though) I restart the B3 bot after the gamelog rotation. This does not affect the player crowd as I do the log rotation at night when nobody is there.

Here is my logrotate script :

Code:

/home/myuser/gamecreate/urbanterror/q3ut4/port*/q3ut4/*.log
/home/myuser/iourt-jumpers/q3ut4/q3ut4/*.log
{
weekly
rotate 28
compress
notifempty
        copytruncate
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/b3-gamers restart > /dev/null
/etc/init.d/b3-jumpers restart > /dev/null
/etc/init.d/b3-dumbers restart > /dev/null
endscript
}

do you mean the bot process, you restart it?  I was trying to leave the bot running and just tell it to "reload" internally.  How servers have a tendency to be full at midnight so I was trying to avoid restarting the entire thing.

"night when nobody is there" is around 6am for my server 
and yes, I just kill the process and restart it. It does not hurt

[xavierk]

I tried as you suggested and got the message you must be authenticated first... There are nights our server is never empty.  Suggestions?

[xavierk]

Ok, it does seem to work, the first time after the restart it says you must authenticate first, but then seems to work fine the second time.
