~~~Bash script to spawn back-to-back random maps~~~
Features:
- Spawns games with random maps from a directory
- Spawns a new random map after each game ends
- Allows Start/Stop/Status control over WinBolo server
- Can be used to start WinBolo server on system startup
- Creates a PID file
Copy the following into a .sh file and make it executable:
#!/bin/bash
screen -S WinBoloServer -dm bash -c 'while true; do $ServerPath -map "$(find $MapDir -type f | shuf -n1)" -port $PortNumber -autoclose -gametype strict -mines no -aitype no -limit -1 -tracker tracker.winbolo.com:50000; sleep 1; done'
ps faux | grep "SCREEN -S WinBoloServer" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' > $PIDFile
Replace: $ServerPath with the path to the WinBolo server application like so: /home/someuser/winbolo/linbolods
Replace: $MapDir with the path to the directory containing map files like so: /home/someuser/winbolo/maps
Replace: $PIDFile with the path to the PID file which will be created on startup like so: /home/someuser/winbolo/pidfile.pid
Replace: $PortNumber with the port number you want to use to host the WinBolo server
