Run a file before starting the service

[Bravo17]

Is there any way to run a file to rename logs before the server gets started?

configure tcadmin to start a .bat. The .bat executes both commands.

 

yourfile.bat
game.exe %*

Does the crash protection/auto restart work with a .bat file? I reckoned that it would have a different pid?

[LFA]

Yes it will still work

Thank you

Is there a way to ensure that TCAdmin actually runs the BAT file each time it restarts the EXE file?

 

We are running an Arma2 DayZ server, and the server is shutdown using #shutdown every 6 hours - TC Admin picks up that the EXE is no longer running and restarts it OK, but it just seems to restart the EXE rather than re-run the BAT file, so the log files never get renamed by the first few lines of the BAT.

If you configure tcadmin to run the .bat that is what it is going to run again if the process exits. TCAdmin doesn't even know how to restart the exe by itself.
