Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Linux Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Jul 15, 2003 10:41:30 PM EDT) Description: I run Linux Redhat 7.3 for game servers. I am looking for a way to have a .cfg file monitored for any changes. .cfg file is edited via FTP and saved. I assume that we monitor the cfg file(time/date) and if any changes are made to it then we need to kill the server by pid number, Then the sh file I use will restart the server automatically. Something like that. The sh file monitors the server and restarts it if the server is killed. Thank You Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

I can write a shellscript which will kill a process (by process ID or by name) when a given file is updated. Or, since you already have a shellscript to restart the game server if it goes down, I could modify it to handle the config files as well, so you would only have to worry about running one program.           See 8 private reply(ies) to/from CrazyFox.
