  • Building my first Linux Service

    Today I decided why not try to improve upon my last post where I created two scripts. One script for starting 3 game servers, the second script to check the status of said servers. After much consideration on how to make this process even more efficient I decided to build 3 services instead. Eliminating cronjobs and extra scripts laying around in my directories. With this method I can run a service file instead that runs even on reboot with no extra configuration. Then, utilize my checkall script after modifying it a bit to serve the same function it did before. Here are some clips of building & debugging the service, to real-time server testing! I only preview 1 server service in these videos but I have built services for all 3 already which work great.
