remote startup
« on: June 22, 2007, 09:43:28 pm »
I want to use a computer on my LAN to host the dedicated server.  My problem is that I don't want to have to go to the computer (even if it may be through remote desktopping) to start or restart the server and I want THAT computer to use the script on THIS computer every time it restarts.  Also I want the script to be edited and saved from THIS computer and I don't want to have to copy and paste the script onto THAT computer through file-sharing.  Any suggestions?
Can't think of anything original to put here...

Setup a FTP server on THAT computer and use NetDrive to make it a "network harddrive" on THIS computer.

hmm then I have another question:
In the www.enesce.com/help it shows Shutdown and StartServer as two functions.  I understand that Shutdown basically shuts off the server and StartServer apparently Starts the Server.  It also says not to use StartServer if it hasn't been shut down - so how can the server ever read the line StartServer if it need to have Shutdown the server before that?  and what happens if you simply use StartServer without shutting it down?  I tried it and all it seemed to do was Restart the server while leaving all those who joined in a disconnected server (a rejoin would fix that).
