//Ahoyworld.co.uk presents: Ahoy Server Tools

What is this:

This is a collection of batch scripts that will help you manage your dedicated Arma3 server on a windows machine. We use these scripts to manage our own servers, and thought to release them in the open, as they might be beneficial for other server managers too.

Includes:

- Restarter script (Restarts Arma & BEC when crashed)

- Updater script (Updates all your arma servers at once, using SteamCMD)

- Backup script (Simple script that can be run to make remote backups)

- File UNlocker (Used to automatically unlock files in use by Arma3Server.exe)

- Log Compressor (Compresses your old log files in zip containers)

- Rebooter (Simple script that restarts your servers upon box restart)

- Repo_Downloader (automatic arma3sync repo downloader)

Download:

https://bitbucket.or...tools/downloads

Installation:

  • Read the included readme files

Links:

Please note: This is a community project, and we will appreciate all external ideas to improve these scripts or extend it's functionality. Any input can be logged in the Issue Tracker or bigger input can be happily forked and imported with a pull request. These scripts have been tested on Windows 2008 R2, and might need small changes in order to work on other versions of this OS.

Two of these scripts have external contributors that we could not find the credits for, such cases are clearly mentioned in the readme files, please help us fill in the gaps if you know the original contributor\author.

Ahoy_Server_Tools V1.5
 
Introducing a totally new, re-written from scratch, Restarter tool: A3_Restarter V2.0
 
This new Restarter has been written in PowerShell V2 and allows for better stability, better compatibility (windows Vista & up), and many new features to be added to the core functionality. Since there is no more need for separate Unlockers, log-archivers, updaters, backup scripts etc, we have moved all those scripts to the "old projects" folder.
 
 ahoy-server-tools-v15-header_4.png
 
Main features:
- Start & re-start Arma3 Server
- Start & re-start BEC
- Update and validate your Arma3 Server installation via SteamCMD
- Sync Keys, Missions and BE-configurations across servers
- Clean and archive log-files (Server & BEC)
- Automatic Server Configuration & Log backup (incl BEC)
- Supports TADST profiles
 
 
User Documentation:
