Server issues: New server

by **ArtemisGray** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:37 am

A question, not sure how to word it because I know nothing about how the server is run and maintained etc.

When the server crashes, it doesn't automatically restart itself after a certain period of time after it's crashed?

Jorb or Loftar has to see/be notified that it's crashed/down and then what? call up the dudes who take care of it or something to get it back online?

If so when the server is down the devs don't know it's down? or it takes time for them to get it back up and running or some crap?

Simply curious, not butthurt or anything. Getting used to the downtime.

i'm thinking more like if it's down, a script will tick the time waiting for how long downtime is then it auto starts everything.

But downtime seems to vary...?

Unless of course theres a formula

Downtime =
Sqrt( Amount of Time up/ total players)

softcapped by the amount of people who were about to do something important of course

These crashes need to happen more often so we can see how many threads per hour we can get sent to hel.
