ArmA - Linux Standalone Server 1.08

===================================

Copyrigt © 2007 Bohemia Interactive Studio. All rights reserved.

For more information please visit

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server

Installation instructions:

==========================

1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box:

tar, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check)

1a. On some verions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9

and Gentoo linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to

run ArmA server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient.

1b. ArmA Server is using shared libraries. w3c-libwww library must

be installed on your system.

2. Copy the whole "ArmA" directory from Windows

to some Linux-directory (ArmA). DON'T DO ANY DATA CONVERSIONS

(even "dos2unix" translation of text files is not necessary).

Example: you can use PKZIP (WinZip, PowerArchiver, etc.) on

Windows and "unzip" on Linux.

Don't use upper case letters in the ArmA directory name

(/home/bob/arma will be good, /home/bob/ArmA

may cause some troubles).

ArmA directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin",

"Campaigns", etc.

3. Copy the "server-x.xx.tar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into

the ArmA directory. Unpack and install it with commands:

arma$ tar -xjf server-x.xx.tar.bz2

arma$ ./install

Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation

is successful.

4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground:

arma$ ./server

Or in background:

o$ nohup ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt &

[1] <pid>

5. Running server can be stopped by executing:

$ kill -s SIGINT <pid>

Where <pid> is process-id of mother server thread (printed out in

"nohup" command).

6. ArmA server has a feature: command-line parameter

"-pid=<pid_file>". It causes creation of <pid_file> with

PID of root ArmA process. If IP port specified in "-port=<nn>"

parameter is busy (in usage), ArmA will terminate immediately

and <pid_file> won't be written..

7. The "armaserver" script is provided for automatic server

start/restart/status query/etc. Please be sure to edit

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS in lines 12 to 18 !

After this is done, install (hard-link?) the script into

"/etc/rc.d/init.d/armaserver" file. After that it can be managed

by "chkconfig" (see info/man).
