Pardon me while I tweak and futz with the server configurations. I had them configured as Windows Services (detached processes for you Linux geeks) but the technique that needs to be used leaves them vulnerable to crashing of the game server but leaving a remnant of the service running that makes restarting them a manual process.

I have corrected this by shelving the service idea for a while until I can device a server-watcher that can get past that problem.

Now they are running on the auto-restart and monitor scripts but they must be manually restarted if the system is rebooted. This will happen much less frequently than a simple server crash of any individual game server.

Linux lends itself to detached servers much more readily than Windows and it seems that few game developers actually devote any time to making their servers run as Windows services. (mostly because debugging a service is hard to do).

Anyway, as of Saturday night, Dec. 21, the servers will auto-restart on a crash within 1 minute of that crash.... again.
