Restarting COD Server?

[Rattle]

I would you go about restarting a server from rcon commands or FTP access? The only thing i can find out is that you can restart the maps but i would like my clients to be able to restart thier server..

They have to have some type of shell access to the server. You really don't want them to execute from ftp, that can open up a whole new can of worms. There are a few simple scripts that will restart a server after if stops (mohadmin has one in their forums). You can modify it to start yours. Then you can just /rcon quit from console and the server will automatically restart.

If you're running on a Windows server, you can make a batch file like this:

@echo off
:top
CoDMP.exe +set dedicated 2 +map_rotate
goto top


Save it in your CoD folder (not the Main folder) as startup.bat. You can change the line that starts the server to what you normally use. When you run the batch file, anytime the server shuts down (like with a /rcon quit command), it will be restarted.

The only problem with that is, if a client does an /rcon quit they have to log in their FTP and and double click that. is there a way to when they do use that /rcon quit, the server will automatically restart itself?
