RemoteServerStarter
RemoteServerStarter (RSS) is a small tool written in Java to manage your servers (in the sense of "services" or "deamons").
Initially it was written to control UT2004 servers, but during coding it became that "general" that it can be used for other servers like Apache servers, MySQL servers, FTP servers and so on.
It is designed to use it with Remote Linux machines, but perhaps it also works with Windows machines, but I don't guarantee that.
There is a start, a stop, a restart and a check command available.
You can set your servers inside the tool.
The latest version can always be found at http://quadrant1.ath.cx/rss/
Features
- complete configuration within the GUI
- platform independent because of Java
- unlimited server entries can be made
- English or German language can be set
System requirements
Operating system with a working JRE 1.4.x which can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/
Versions
RSS comes in 3 versions:
- RSSv0.x.zip: this is the "normal" version which autodetects the O/S and sets the right GUI style at program start. This version is suitable for most users.
- RSSv0.x-Windows.zip: GUI is fixed to Windows style
- RSSv0.x-Metal.zip: GUI is fixed to Metal/GTK style
Installation
The program come with no installer.
Just unpack the the file to a location of your choice.
Please make sure that the "servers.ini" remain in the "config" directory, otherwise the program will not run.
If you use RSS the first time you don't need the "IniUpdater.jar" and can safely delete it.
Update from v0.1 & v0.2
If you update from a previous version you don't have to set everything again.
Just make sure that the "settings.ini" is in the "config" folder, while your old "servers.ini" remains in the program root.
Then run "IniUpdater.jar".
All settings will be taken into the new file and you will see a small message.
After that you can delete the "IniUpdater.jar" and the "servers.ini".
How to use
For usage please read the "README.txt" which is included in the zip file.
