Add possibility to execute shell script from web GUI about acweb HOT 7 CLOSED

You know what. I'm gonna take a look at implementing additional script calls.

from acweb.

Alright, I've added a simple method to run scripts before/after the server instance is created. You simply add the full qualified script path in the instance UI when you start a new server instance. The second script, which is called after the actual server start, receives the process ID of the server instance.

Please close this ticket if this solves your issue.

Have you tried calling a script instead of the server executable? You can point to a script by changing the "Executable" setting on the settings page.

Call it from the script :)

Are there any available parameters for the arguments?
Example to pass in some informations like instance number?

Would be great for automatic reloading stracker.

The server config and entry list are passed to the executable (like acserver -c config.ini -e entrylist.ini). So if you place a script instead of the server executable you can use these parameters to start the server by yourself. acweb uses the process ID created by that call to manage the instance. Inside the script you could run the server by starting a new process and use that process ID for stracker.

The issue here is that I'm not running a server by myself right now, so I'm not a user of my own product anymore. If you're going to test this and get it to work (or modify the acweb code to your needs, shouldn't be too hard), please consider sharing your experience here so that we can document how to run stracker (or any other mod/plugin).
