opbans.ini

[LordRing]

I'm an admin for three servers in UT99.

I wrote a PERL script to FTP the opbans.ini from our main server to the other servers in order to keep the ban lists in sync. This will ensure our admins only have to ban users on one server and the ban will be filtered to the other servers as well.

Basically when I FTP the opbans.ini from one server to another, the file copies, but is not read into memory. The only way I can get the new opbans.ini file to be read into memory is to restart the server. Otherwise the old ban list still prevails.

Does anybody know a command I can execute to read the new opbans.ini into memory without disrupting the gameplay?

Cant. In order to modify files on a ut server you have to stop the server first because it locks all the folders in it.
