Execute a command on the server from the browser :: Example to delete PB logs

**LFA** · July 26, 2007

*** This script has been tested with version 1.0.2753.32400. It might not work with older versions. ***

To edit this script so it executes a different command or deletes files in a different folder just edit the values of each variable in the Variables section. You can also set stopGameServer = True if you want it to stop the game server before executing the command.

1- Create a text file named deletepblogs.aspx in C:\program Files\TCAdmin Control Panel\Web\Templates\Default with the following code:

<%
       [b]'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
       'Variables
       '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

       Dim pageTitle As String = "Delete Punkbuster Logs"
       Dim stopGameServer As Boolean = False
       Dim relativePath As String = "pb\svlogs"
       Dim command As String = "del %path%\*.log"
       Dim startMessage As String = "Deleting log files...<br>"
       Dim endMessage As String = "Log files have been deleted.<br>You can close this window."

       '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
       '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''[/b]

       Response.Write("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"">")
       Response.Write("<HTML><TITLE>" & pageTitle & "</TITLE><BODY bgcolor=""#000000""><font face=""Lucida Console"" size=""2"" color=""#FFFFFF"">")

       If TCAdminSDK.Web.Session.IsAuthenticated Then
           Dim serviceid As String = Request.QueryString("serviceid")
           Dim service As New TCAdminSDK.Objects.Service
           service.ServiceID = serviceid
           If service.Find Then

               Dim path As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(service.AutomationFilesPath, relativePath)
               command = command.Replace("%path%", path)

               Response.Write(startMessage)
               Response.Flush()

               If service.UserID = TCAdminSDK.Web.Session.CurrentUser Or TCAdminSDK.Web.Session.CurrentUserType = TCAdminSDK.Objects.UserType.Admin Or TCAdminSDK.Web.Session.CurrentUserType = TCAdminSDK.Objects.UserType.SubAdmin Then

                   Dim serviceWasRunning As Boolean = False
                   If stopGameServer And service.CurrentStatus = TCAdminSDK.Objects.ServiceStatus.Running Then
                       Response.Write("Stopping the game server...")
                       Response.Flush()

                       service.Stop()
                       serviceWasRunning = True
                   End If

                   Dim serverplugin As TCAdminBase.Plugins.IGenericPlugIn = TCAdminSDK.Remote.InstanceCreator.GetPluginFromServer(service.ServerID, "TCAdminMonitor.StandardPlugins.RemoteServers.ServerUtilities")
                   serverplugin.Execute(New Object() {"ExecuteScript", service.WorkingDirectory, command})

                   If serviceWasRunning Then
                       Response.Write("Starting the game server...")
                       Response.Flush()
                       service.Start()
                   End If
               End If

               Response.Write(endMessage)
               Response.Flush()
           End If
       End If

       Response.Write("</font></BODY></HTML>")
%>

2- Create a custom link in System Settings > Custom Links with the following information:

[b]Page:[/b] Game Server Home Page
[b]Visible For:[/b] Any game that uses Punkbuster
[b]URL:[/b] javascript:void OpenConsoleWindow('deletepblogs.aspx?serviceid=%serviceid%','deletepblogs%serviceid%','This will delete the Punkbuster log files. Do you want to continue?')
[b]Icon Text:[/b] Delete Punkbuster Logs
[b]Image URL[/b] Images/MenuIcons/PunkBuster.png
[b]Mouse Over Text:[/b] Delete this game server's Punkbuster logs.
[b]Place After Icon:[/b] Update Punkbuster

If you select a game server of that game type you should see the delte pb logs icon.

Important information if you add more than one of these icons

Since the URL is the table's key it should be different for every icon you create. To work around this problem you can make each URL slightly different. For example:

javascript:void OpenConsoleWindow('deletepblogs.aspx?serviceid=%serviceid%&1','deletepblogs%serviceid%','This will delete the Punkbuster log files. Do you want to continue?')

javascript:void OpenConsoleWindow('deletepblogs.aspx?serviceid=%serviceid%&2','deletepblogs%serviceid%','This will delete the Punkbuster log files. Do you want to continue?')

javascript:void OpenConsoleWindow('deletepblogs.aspx?serviceid=%serviceid%&3','deletepblogs%serviceid%','This will delete the Punkbuster log files. Do you want to continue?')

Nice!

swish · July 26, 2007

Works nice...very cool!

This opens up some possibilities for easily created scripts now.

swish · July 28, 2007

Actually...after looking....It pops up the window but doesn't actually delete the logs.

**LFA** · July 28, 2007

To see the complete command being executed you can change:

serverplugin.Execute(New Object() {"ExecuteScript", service.WorkingDirectory, command})

to:

Response.Write("Command: " & command & "<br>")
serverplugin.Execute(New Object() {"ExecuteScript", service.WorkingDirectory, command})

Then you can run the command shown from a command prompt on the server to see if there is any error shown.

swish · July 29, 2007

Ahh awesome. Works now. I have the directory incorrect.

ntburchf · August 8, 2007

Mine says it's deleting the files, yet the files still remain

Deleting log files...
Command: del C:\UserFiles\xxx\GameServers\TC56536020848438344322342\pb\svlogs\*.log
Log files have been deleted.
You can close this window.

//edit never mind I see the error

ntburchf · August 9, 2007

anyway to make it delete the png + the htm files in the /pb/svss dir?

besides doing the *.*

Thanks!

You can modify the script so it generates 2 del commands instead of one.

ntburchf · August 10, 2007

Thanks,

how would a do that?

Dim command As String = "del %path%\*.log"

Change that to?

**LFA** · August 10, 2007

You need to change the relative path because logs and images are stored in a different folder.

Dim relativePath As String = "pb"

And each command needs a new line:

Dim newline as String = chr(13) & chr(10)
Dim command As String = "del %path%\svlogs\*.log" & newline & "del %path%\svss\*.png"

tangogc · August 22, 2007

You can modify the script so it generates 2 del commands instead of one.

I am confused about execute both comands in one script.

Could you please post an example script that:

stop server

delete log folder

delete ss folder

start server

thanks

I'm getting this error:

Access is denied.

Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. You might not have permission to view the requested resources.

Error message 401.3: You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied (access denied due to ACLs). Ask the Web server's administrator to give you access.

**LFA** · August 28, 2007

That means the windows user named TCAdminWeb does not have permissions to read the file you created.

Variable · August 28, 2007

How do I give permission?

GiJoe · August 29, 2007

Would it be as simple as adding another line?

Dim relativePath As String =

I'd be interested in making this script clean up all of PB by removing screenshots and their HTM files as well.

Damn... I didn't see there was a second page to this post... Opps.

I added this already to the scripts section.

**LFA** · September 3, 2007

Since so may people like this script the next update will include an icon to delete the pb logs and screenshots.

tangogc · September 3, 2007

Great LFA I have created a lot of personalized script for various games, if you need I can upload in support section

DougK94 · September 3, 2007

Sounds good

**LFA** · September 4, 2007
