I’ve been having a problem automating my server to stop, update, and start again. After the server is brought down, it tries to start back up (there is the process in htop) but it doesn’t actually run properly. No clients are able to connect and it views as down in HLSW. This only started happening recently after one of the patches. Here is what I’ve got going.

killark

updateark

startark

Theses scripts are in /usr/bin on an ubunutu server. I’m going to assume its a way I am handling all my scripts in restartark that may be causing an issue, as on their own the scripts work flawlessly. In order to get my server running again, I have to kill ARK’s process and run startark once more.
