Topic: Running two games on the same server

[jamespetts]

Does anyone know what steps are necessary in order to run two games on the same server? I have been trying to do so with Timothy's old script (here), but I find that, whenever I start one instance, the other instance receives the kill signal from somewhere (I have not been able to identify from where). I should note that the script is set to run with the "restart" command at 2 minute intervals using cron in respect of the main instance only.

I should be grateful if anyone who has had success in making this work could let me know what configuration has been used. Thank you in advance.

You can do this manually. Just specify two different ports. (And better also specify different names on the commandline too.)

So for instance you write
simutrans -server13353 -server_name=Exp1 -load game1.sve&
simutrans -server13354 -server_name=Exp2 -load game2.sve&

That does not need any script. And Timothy's script can only handle a single server, since it only stores exactly one pid. You could run it from two different locations, but I would not use the script then. it should not kill simutrans randomly.

If you server is a virtual server, it may run in main memory limitations. The supervisor software will then kill one processs after a short grace period. Use "top" or "htop" command or something like that to check the memory consumption.

I was running 3 servers at the same time. I'll send you the modified script for automatic updates and restarts (linux) in the evening.
