Auto-restarting CloD server with AutoIt

AutoIt is a popular windows automation toolbox which can be scripted to do various tasks. BigRepa created a script for it to restart Repka servers.

What it does:
1. Checks if launcher process exists
2. Checks if there is no Steam disconnect window pop-up.

If 1 or 2 is not true, it runs reboot.cmd which restarts Windows.

Code:

#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>

Opt("TrayAutoPause",0) ; important line!

$okno="Steam Connection"

While 1

If Not ProcessExists('Launcher.exe') Then

sleep (300000)

        If Not ProcessExists('Launcher.exe') Then

        Run("C:\autocod\reboot.cmd")

        Endif

Else

        $var = WinList($okno)  

        For $n = 1 to $var[0][0]    

        $aData = _WinAPI_EnumChildWindows($var[$n][1])

        For $i= 1 To $aData[0][0]

        $text=ControlGetText ($var[$n][1], "", $aData[$i][0])

        If StringInStr($text, "Steam") Then

        Run("C:\autocod\reboot.cmd")

        Endif

        Next

    Next

    sleep (60000)

Endif

WEnd

You also have to put the following files into the script directory:
APIConstants.au3
WinAPIEx.au3
Get them at AutoIt site. AutoIt forums provide a lot of help and instructions.

I personally did not install or ran it. Just spread some useful info.

Update.

reboot.cmd restarts Windows

Code:

shutdown /r /t 5

Windows autostart contains:
1) AutoIt script
2) Steam
3) .cmd file starting launcher and mission in it with tst10.exe program (scripted telnet ?)

Code:

timeout 180

CD C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\

start /high Launcher.exe -server

cd C:\autocod

echo %date% %time% restart server>> repka_log.txt

timeout 15

tst10.exe /r:Start-Mission.txt /m

2 daily server restarts are scheduled via Windows Task Scheduler at 07.00 and 19.00 MSK just in case.

All 2 Repka servers are running a desktop versions of Windows (Win7-64 probably) for compatibility with some online missions (e.g. 2nd campaign by stillborn). All 3 are run on one physical server on virtual machines that allows running 3 copies of Steam on the same hardware at the same time.

Hi Ataros, there seems to be problem with that latest script. I am getting error:

Code:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\autocod\back\error.au3"

C:\autocod\back\WinAPIEx.au3 (8108) : ==> Duplicate function name.:

Func _WinAPI_DuplicateHandle($hProcess, $hSource, $hTarget, $iAccess = 0, $iOptions = 2, $fInherit = 0)



>Exit code: 1    Time: 0.315

Would You be able to ask BIGRepa wich function is wrong?

Hi!
sukhoi.ru is down and I can not contact BigRepa. AFAIK he does not use these scripts any more as Small_Bee wrote a server commander which is being beta-tested.

You can ask at AutoIt forums I think. They have a great community there. BigRepa learned everything from their forum.
