ARMAGETRONAD-DEDICATED(6) Games Manual ARMAGETRONAD-DEDICATED(6)
NAME
armagetronad-dedicated - an Armagetron Advanced dedicated game server
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/armagetronad-dedicated start|stop|restart|force-reload|status
armagetronad-dedicated [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--doc] [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record] [--playback]
DESCRIPTION
The Armagetron Advanced dedicated server runs from an initscript -- to enable running it on boot, edit /etc/default/armagetronad-dedicated.
The server program will read default settings from /etc/armagetronad/settings_dedicated.cfg. Modifications and custom server settings
should be implemented in the file /etc/armagetronad/settings_custom.cfg.
To edit configuration on-the-fly or make time-sensitive temporary changes, it's best to log onto the server from the armagetronad client
and log on as an administrator (using the password set in the server configuration). Console input is not available when running the server
as a daemon.
Before each round is started, the file /etc/armagetronad/everytime.cfg is read; it may be useful to use this for things like randomly
changing maps or other quickly changing settings.
