TF2 "Orange" server details

I have changed the maintenance schedule of the game-servers based on new capabilities.

Instead of restarting all game-servers daily to avoid errors (and weekly to perform clean backups), they will only be scheduled to be restarted weekly (to perform clean backups).

This is made possible by a new capability, which will monitor the game-servers "often" (at least every 15 minutes, if no overlapping daily or weekly maintanance process is scheduled) and restart only the affected server as needed.

This new "monitoring" capability is provided by newly created scripts, which are published as part of my guide: Weasel's Dedicated-Server Management Scripts (for Linux).

The only scheduled down-time on a recurring basis will be:

• Mondays at UTC: 10:00 ("ten-hundred hours Zulu").
  
• Mondays at New York: 06:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Washington D. C.: 06:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Chicago: 05:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Las Vegas: 03:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Rachel[en.wikipedia.org]: 03:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Los Angeles: 03:00 AM - Daylight/Summer-Time
  
• Mondays at Hawaii: 12:00 AM

The new full maintenance schedule is available in this discussion thread.

I removed a couple of server-side plugins from the "Boomer-Strike" server, in the interest of making it a bit more "vanilla" - at least compared to our other CS 1.6 servers. Specifically, the two plugins recently removed were:

• Custom weapon models[forums.alliedmods.net] (gold-plated guns)
  
• UT-style floating weapons[forums.alliedmods.net] (weapons spin and float above ground)

As previously noted, the connection information for the "Boomer-Strike" CS 1.6 server continues to be:

I have cleaned-up / re-written and published the Linux (bash) scripts that I use for setting-up and maintaining various game-servers. For anyone interested, I have created a Steam Community "Guide" about the scripts, how to download them, and how they work.

They are designed to make things a bit easier for those trying to host a bunch of dedicated game-servers on Linux (presumably Debian) hosts.

The Steam Community "Guide" is available here:

• Weasel's Dedicated-Server Management Scripts (for Linux)

The scripts themselves are hosted-up in GitHub, in a tar.gz file in this public repository:

• Mecha-Weasel/game-server-scripts[github.com]

PS: Please feel free to share these links, and of course the scripts themselves freely. As far as I am concerned, they are now public-domain[en.wikipedia.org]. Credit is requested where appropriate, but certainly not required.
