Server doesn't respond to /cancelupdate in-game #1209

Closed mattague closed 1 year ago

mattague commented 2 years ago

I have been trying to setup restarts and updates to repsond to commands in game, but I can't seem to figure out how. I have added arkflag_servergamelog=true to my instance config, I have set chatCommandRestartCancel=/cu in my main arkmanager.cfg.

I also noticed that while digging around in /usr/local/bin/arkmanager, at line 1816 it says find "${arkserverroot}/${arkserverdir}/Saved/Logs" -name 'ShooterGame.*.log' -mmin -5 -print0 |, but from looking in my ark server directory's Saved/Logs folder, the most recent log is named ShooterGame.log, with backups named ShooterGame-backup-{DATE}.log. When I view the ShooterGame.log file, I can see my chat from in game, including my attempts to cancel the restart/update, but arkamanager never seems to respond to them.

Could this be due to the naming difference of my logs, and if so, how could I rectify this issue?

Did you replace ServerGame with ShooterGame in your /usr/local/bin/arkmanager?

      find "${arkserverroot}/${arkserverdir}/Saved/Logs" -name 'ServerGame.*.log' -mmin -5 -print0 |

ServerGame.*.log should contain chat, while ShooterGame.log will also contain stuff like the Commandline

I think I did, but im not 100% sure, i have changed that line back now, I had originally changed that line because I couldn't find the file, but looking at it now, I can find it but this command still doesn't work.

Is the chat line still formatted like:

[2016.07.01-12.45.55:762][947]2016.07.01_12.45.55: klightspeed (Bob): /cancelupdate

If so, are the times UTC?

The update cancellation uses the regex ^\[(....)\.(..)\.(..)-(..)\.(..)\.(..):.* to extract the date and time from the chat log, and assumes that the timestamp is in UTC.

Through some trial and error I got this working. Sorry for taking your time, it was a config issue on my part, and failure to just try restarting the entire server.

Thank you for your help though. This project is a godsend, and you are a saint.

I am now running into the same issue I think. This is what I get for not documenting my fic in the issue...

For posterity: Double check all this advice, and restart the physical server. Dont be dumb Matt
