renaming games_mp.log

[Sgt_mac]

Hi there.

I am having a problem with one of the two servers I admin.
On the one server if I do an rcon quit, i can rename the logfile no problem, I do this to reduce the logfile size for downloading, and eventually want the stats prog I have to also be able to archive the logs.

On the other server it will ot let me do it.
The configs are almost the same except for mapcycles and a few spec, killcam settings also the motd.

Any suggestions??

Something to try..

Assuming Linux, ssh into your box, execute ps -ax and look to see how many cod_lnxded's are running. Should only be 1. Note their pid's and issue kill <pid#>.

rename/backup as needed.

start server again from command line ;)

Sorry I should have said.

The server is running windows, and I dont have remote desktop, only ftp.

Type this into your console set g_log games_mp1.log and it will create a new log with a 1 at the end of it after the current map ends. I do this with mohstats so I can delete the old log fileand it keeps my downloads from ftp quick.

Then starting logging again
