How to Restart RMS

Hello

* Any time when my server restart my RMS was stopped, so I have to restart my RMS so that my chat and board will work again.

where can i find RMS and how can i restart it ?

Can any one Help me please, did not get any reply till now

I claim to not be a pro but I have my own RMS install at home.

When I restart the server, I then have to navigate to the folder where RMS is installed and run ./run-daemon.sh to restart my RMS.

I'm sure there is an auto run function, but I have not been able to get that together yet..

Works on my Linux server just fine on restarts!

Setting-up RMS on Startup ¶

• Now you should add a task to your server's startup file, so every time your server restarts, RMS could start automatically. On most Linux systems this file is /etc/rc.local. You should input the following lines in it: "cd path_to_rms" and "/path_to_rms/run_daemon.sh", where "path_to_rms" stands for the absolute path to Ray Media Server folder.

For example:

cd /opt/ray_server
./run_daemon.sh

NB: on Windows machines you will have to add the following file "C:\Program Files\RMS\run_daemon.exe" to Startup.

cd /opt/ray_server
./run_daemon.sh

Thanks jctwebsites! (point) that is just what I was missing! @messarra, this works for me.

Everytime there's a hiccup on my server I have to restart my RMS. Can I make restarting the RMS a function of the cron job?

Every time you restart RMS, you kick anybody out of any widget that requires RMS.  Also, I've found that RMS does not start reliably after every restart.  Sometimes you have to restart it twice to get it working right.  So if you don't mind those two things that I can think of, I am sure there is a way to setup a cron job to restart your RMS every so often as it is coded to kill any existing RMS process when you ./run_daemon.sh which in turn, restarts it.

What about creating a script that can check to see if it's running, then restart it when necessary?

ps ax | grep ray_server

RMS will appear to be running, but your widgets may not be connecting / loading.  Not sure there is any way to do that other than visually.

So if you want to see the script, please visit the above thread.

Edited Post - added here too!

#!/bin/bash

#Path to Ray Server's folder
RAY_SERVER_PATH=/your/path/to/RMS

PID=`ps ax | grep java | grep red5 | gawk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} { print $1 }'`
if [[ $PID > 0 ]] ; then
    echo "Red5 Appears To Be Running..."
    exit 0
fi

#Start RED5
$RAY_SERVER_PATH/red5.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &
echo "Red5 Restart Attempted..."
exit 1

Copy & Paste using FF, Click on HTML in the editor, Paste save, works for me.

Yea... I was using the mouse to copy/paste, has some pop-up saying unsupported (I'm using FF on Linux)... but a Control-c and Control-v works fine too.  ;)
