Handle running through PuTTy

So this will be like a easy script to auto restart server ect at set times.

I'm trying find something to do this my self but keep up the progress im interested!

Multi-threaded umm tell me more on this

Hmm, Yes, I like this. I would like to know more about it being Multi-Threaded.

you could also just make a batch which restarts the server after some time...also backup's.

just enter your right paths n stuff

hmm i have a few questions, here is my config.

well i use rtoolkit to deal with the restarts and stuff, how would i use this.
also i cant get it to start ive tried ./client.py (sorry i donot know what im doing, have never used python)
Running on Linux 2.6.38-8 & GNOME 2.32.1 with 32Gib of memory and 8 Processors

Code:

[Handle]
path_to_bukkit = /opt/bukkit  (would this bee where the server files are)
start_heap = 512
max_heap = 25600
screen_bukkit = bukkit
screen_handle =
original_path = /opt/bukkit    (would this bee where the .py files are stored)
worlds = world
version = 0.2

[Updater]
auto_update = false
update_interval = 0
build_type = 1
current_build =


#################(can i disable these, because i use rtoolkit?)

[Mapper]
interval = 360

[Backup]
interval = 60

[Restart]
interval = 600

hmm i also have this problem
"ImportError: No module named daemon2"
running Python 2.7.1+

@blaize9 The current version of handle does not allow you to turn off jobs as its still just a dev version. The way handle works is it opens bukkit in its own thread then reads the output so using a plugon to restart your server would break handle. I'm currently in the process of changing from a all-in-one program to a client-daemon one so the interface is still quite buggy. To start handle run ./handle.py and then run ./client.py this will eventually changed. As far as the error I seem to have forgotten a module I will upload it this afternoon when I am able

ok thanks =D

version 0.3.0 Released

Kick a$$ this works fantastically.

why is this stuff only for linux D:

It is python, you can run it on windows too!

False. It uses code that only runs on linux.

Not to be mean, but you don't need this unless you are running a real server. Like a dedicated server. And if you are running windows on a dedicated server, please GTFO the internet

Pretty unique. Haven't seen something like this, pretty cool.

Lol I am running it on windows and it is dedicated, and it is still very good xD

its more or less retarted

anyway this puTTy screen looks great, cant wait to try it out

Handle shows up and closes directly printing this: <__main__.Client object at 0x8982d0>
Using python 2.7 on gentoo.

Are you starting handle with "./handle" or "python handle.py" You should be using "./handle". It will start up a new instance or reconnect to an existing one

If your using "./handle" open handle.py and right after the imports change this line

Code:

LOGLVL = logging.INFO    #<----------------------------------------- LOGGING LEVEL------------------------------------

to

Code:

LOGLVL = logging.DEBUG    #<----------------------------------------- LOGGING LEVEL------------------------------------

then post the contents of server.log and client.log to pastebin or something after trying to start handle again

Most of handle could acutally run on windows but the library used to write the ui is linux only, and re is right most true dedicated servers are run on linux. Also I seriously doubt that someone is using ssh on his server that runs on windows

Let me know what you think

Riwolfes and I are from the same Server

here the client.log: http://pastebin.com/82yufxD7


heres a screenshot, the server is running under screen, under the name bukkit, like in the config, i take the files from github , the newest one, not that zipped under downloads, i tried both, both are not working



we are using Gentoo 64bit on a Dedicated Root with Python 2.7.1, i see for 10seconds one time, in the handle session, the help and the commands, but not more

Best Regards

Handle starts its own server instance so you dont need one running already. The stuff about screen in the config file is garbage that I haven't gotten around to removing yet. Just run ./handle and type start at the prompt
