[Release] Ankh Restarter

[Kirth]

Ankh Restarter

Ankh is an easy-to-use restarter for private servers.

Note: this project is still a Work In Progress -- not all features (such as the webinterface) are implemented or fully functional yet.

Features are:

• Easy to use User Interface. Displays whether the logon- and worldserver are online and how many restarts occurred this session.
• The application is easily manageable through an easy-to-use settings system.
• The logging system allows you to chose a location to place the logs. Logs can either be in plaintext, or HTML format.
• Reboots both World- and Logonserver. The user can easely pick the whereabouts of the world- and logon-server. It's also configureable whether you want only the world-, only the logon- or both of the servers restarted.
  
  
  Might soon come:
  
  • An easy configuration system, that'd make setting it up even easier! (Autodetecting emulator + executeables).
  • Webinterface This optional feature allows you to check up on the server's status where ever you are... As long as you've got an internet connection available, that is.
• Configureable intervals (check the status every x seconds).

That's pretty useful i hate having to restart both then wait for them to get back up

I think it needs some work

I believe you've forgot to set up the system... Go to tools -> settings and select your exes. As it is, I've found a bug which sometimes prevents the settings menu being shown up.

This bug should be fixed by tonight (or tomorrow), together with a crash that occurs when the selected files for the restart no longer exist.

Thank you for your response :>.

Hey Kirth this looks promising, hope you'll keep up the development on this 'babe.
Would love to see this in its advanced stages

I'm most definitely going maintain support on this. Repairs are taking a bit longer than I reckoned they would. I've also written a system that displays errors now rather than just having the application crash.


Update: Version 0.8 should have fixed all previously mentioned. Download and Changelog entry added.

And you should try the program before spilling out crap :>.

PS: Every visual studio uses that icon -- C++ also ;>.

dead links?

[Hellgawd]

Yep, dead links. Reup, please Kirth

Due to a problem with the server I used as a host, I've been forced to relocate the download links to Filebeam. I'll be redoing the screenshots later today.

Thank you for the responses :3.
