FreeBSD gamebox.pyroshells.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0

Using the latest Soldat Linux version - beta 3.

The only problem is it appears to run 3 processes:

escapedturkey 80624 0.2 4.6 58908 23660 ?? S 5:40PM 0:02.10 /home/escapedturkey/soldat/server/soldatserver soldatspl
escapedturkey 80637 0.0 4.6 58908 23660 ?? S 5:40PM 0:00.00 /home/escapedturkey/soldat/server/soldatserver soldatspl
escapedturkey 80638 0.0 4.6 58908 23660 ?? S 5:40PM 0:00.02 /home/escapedturkey/soldat/server/soldatserver soldatspl
e

Why is it doing that? Is it normal to show 3 processes?

This even occurs if I run screen:

screen ./soldatserver password

If you want to avoid any errors, it's important to turn off ASE reporting, or you get that odd error mentioned earlier.

Okay .. there is a problem. When more than 2 player join, with this beta 3 version, if they leave, or something, it ends up filling up the entire server with bots. Bots are turned off, so I assume this is some sort of bug. Is anyone else getting this problem?

;)

no-one else runs the Linux dedicated server on FreeBSD lol

I guess from what I've heard this problem isn't exclusive to the linux version. The Windows server also fills up with 0 ping players for some odd reason.

So far I've managed to run any linux server - teamspeak, Quake 3, and other games via FreeBSD. Unfortunately, with the GPL (though it's a good thing to some respects), defining Linux depends on what package and build you are talking about. Do most references here mean RH? And what version, RH 7.0+ or 9.0? =)

Well, I'm not exactly sure, however Red Hat is pretty popular as far as Linux goes...

There really aren't too many Linux servers.

However there should be a new release of the Linux dedicated server soon.

i agree nightcabbage. perhaps a server that doesnt use 75 mb of ram? because that is CRAZY :)
