-- What is UnRestart?

 	UnRestart is a server restarter written for annoyed gameserver admins by an annoyed gameserver admin.
	It should work with all Unreal Engine 1 based games that use the Gamespy protocol (v1).

 
-- Features:

	- Restarts server when closed or deadlocked.
	- Backs up the server logs (to '..\logs\')
	
 
-- Configuration:
 
   	Have a look into 'config.cfg'. The entries should be self-explaining.
 

-- How to use UnRestart:

	Step1: Shove 'unrestart.exe', 'msvcr100.dll' and 'config.cfg' into your game's 'system' directory.
	Step2: Configure UnRestart.
	Step3: Double click on 'unrestart.exe'

Awesome, so it's released.
The config settings are useful, however one important setting is missing.
The ability to decide about the date format of the folders.

In the screen shot it's dd-mm-yyyy.
That's not useful if you want to find something quickly.
I suggest yyyy.mm.dd

It is yyyy-mm-dd. the screenshot is old.

That's better.
But still consider adding a template to the config for this. Currently, it's still breaking the altfire log save convention

When tested before, worked perfectly. Tried to use it yesterday, server doesn't restart. I assume server is offline.

[rcon] login refused: wrong password (1).
[rcon] login refused: wrong password (2).
[rcon] login refused: wrong password (3).

That should explain why you were unable to restart the server, but not the undetected server deadlock... :I

I had the same problem with the password authentication.
I even copied the password from the config into the login mask and it rejected the login.

Hey I've been looking for a server restarter. Strangely, some of the people who posted in this thread never bothered to mention this to me!

Ah, sorry, I simply either forgot or wasn't aware it was available, as it wasn't publicly released, just was being private tested. I heard no mention of it amongst the clan admins and don't have admin these days.

The program didn't work properly afaik..
It was initiated to enable someone (me back then) to have full control over a server (the altfire server back then) without the need of having full control over the host machine.
Since that problem isn't present anymore (for altfire in particular), the project development was suspended.
