Kaillera Server Startup Scripts (1.0.0)

Startup scripts for the Kaillera game server - uses the "screen" command to manage session. This also restarts the Kaillera server process if it crashes.

These start up the Kaillera server at boot time with a "screen" process.

  1. Copy kaillera into /etc/init.d - make sure it is executable
  2. Copy startkaillera into /root/kaillerasrv-0.86 - make sure it is executable
  3. Run "systemctl enable kaillera" (only needed once, will stick)
  4. Run "systemctl start kaillera" - starts Kaillera without restarting the server

When you want to view the Kaillera console, just enter "screen -r" in your shell.

To disconnect from the Kaillera console just press CTRL-A CTRL-D. This will leave it running and you can reconnect to it again.

I have only tested this on a Ubuntu 16.04 server...

If you want to turn off the server respawning type "touch /root/kaillerasrv-0.86/nostart". To reenable it type "rm /root/kaillerasrv-0.86/nostart".


Note: If you don't already have the "screen" tool installed you will need to install it by "sudo apt-get install screen".
