    Is there some way to report all those crashes or does it do that automatically? I'm sure it would help the devs.

    What mods are you running. With just DAK I normally will only see a crash like once a week.

    No mods on my box and I get one crash per week too... two in a heavy week. I have an application that reboots the Ns2 server in less than a minute if it does crash. Servers back up approx 40 seconds after crash.

    I only run one server on the box at a time though... maybe that is the key.

    It likely is crashing due to out of memory, I have seen empty server instances using 1.2GB of ram after being on for a few days...

    What kind of script would you make on Linux to check if the server crashed?

    Things I suspect are happening:

    1) Mods on server causing crashes (likely)

    2) Not enough memory allocated per server


    Things to try:

    Disable mods for a while, try vanilla.

    Memory issues are being worked on by Dushan & max as we type.

    To see crashes:
    dmesg | grep server_linux32

    And to count them
    dmesg | grep server_linux32 | wc -l

    If you want to check whether it's down or up, you check either pids, or whether it has network reponsiveness.
