    Is there any way to autorestart your server if it crashes?

    You'd have to contact your host.

    I'm hosting my server on my own dedicated Windows 2008 R2 server, so I'd be contacting myself :p

    Then you'd have to setup some sort of batch script or other external problem to handle it.

    That's what I'm asking help for...
    I currently have:
    Code:
    @echo off
Start /high rust_server.exe -batchmode -hostname "FRUSTRATEDGAMERS.COM :: Anti-Cheat|KIT|REMOVER|SETHOME|ECON" -port 28015 -datadir "save/rust/" -maxplayers 50 -cfg "save/server.cfg" -oxidedir "save/oxide"

    If you're willing to use a 3rd party tool google "Control Running Program", its freeware.

    I use keeprunning, there are free légal versions out their but i couldnt find thèm.
    Other possibility would be to transform your run_server.exe into à windows service application so windows will keep it running all the time for you and restart it on crash.
    But for that you need to find à tutoriel, it seemed hard to do so i used keeprunning app

    Asking if it's possible and asking someone to write it for you are two entirely separate things. ;)

    There's a lot of examples of this that can be found via searching the net. You'll likely have to experiment, as I haven't really seen any scripts made purely for Rust Server yet. Better option may be one of the programs that Domestos or Reneb linked.

    Didn't even think about making it a windows service, I can use nssm for that! thanks!

    Use the .bat script that comes with Oxide and the TimedExecute plugin, done.

    A simple .bat should be fine like I mentioned.

    I'd copy it/rename it, but you can. I'd recommend using the server.cfg for most settings though.

    found something -silentcrashes, will get rid of the notification and let restarter.exe restart the process?
