tf!start for OPs

why is there just not a bot that runs that command in a seperate unseen channel after a certain amount of time.

surely there is a way to detect if the server is offline? Why is this not automated?

The command itself seems redundant when taking SKS' proposal in to account.

Object.

object for miwo's reason. Also, there may be some times when the server is off intentionally, it has happened before where admins have been asked not to use tf!start. Ops will use tf!start anyway.

Please don't make it habit to post suggestions on Ashaz's behalf because then there's no point in banning him.

I think the bot commands were always meant to be a temporary solution. In the long term, a panel and/or a decent automatic crash detection system would always be better.

I agree with Steven, having a panel or a system that automatically restarts the server incase it crashes.

I dont think OPs need tf!start since most of the time the server needs to be stopped or killed before starting it once again. (If the server ever goes down, its better to let the Admins know and better off the executive team)

I'm not really happy with giving ops access to start the server, it's not necessary.

I'm working in slower time at the moment on sorting the automatic restart script out which paper can invoke if it detects a crash in order to restart things, and need to make some other tweaks to the scripts anyway.

Think this is the solution to a problem that doesn't really exist as well. If the server has gone down odds generally are that it's crashed and still running so would still need admin intervention.

@elmon#4146 this is aimed at pretty much everyone. It's not the first time he's asked someone to post a suggestion for him nor (I suspect) will it be the last.

Until Wild's solution is implemented, I think the bot should be used to auto restart the servers.

I'm going to decline this one for the time being. We have plenty of admins and the real issue is not that we don't have enough admins, it's that a lot sit in server chat talking when the server has crashed and said it went offline... This is a staff and doing their job problem, not a technical one for once.
