Console

Using server console

Most game servers offers a console, in which you can monitor activity of your server, check errors in real time, and input some commands.

IMPORTANT NOTE : Replace gameserver by your actual script name, for example : csgoserver or ts3server

Accessing the console

Run the following command :

./gameserver console

Answer y to the promp, and voilà !

Exiting the console properly

To exit the console and let the server running, two steps :

Press CTRL + b, then, press d

Note : This shortcut is inherent to TMUX that LGSM is using.

Exiting the console and shutdown the server with a barbarian method

To force close the server instantly your server while being into the console :

Press CTRL + c

Note that this doesn't remove the lockfile, so if a monitor cronjob is running it will still auto-restart the server.

Reminder

To shutdown your server properly while being into the console :

Exit the console with CTRL + b, then, press d

Then simply run :

./gameserver stop
