Run two separate .exe's when server is started or stopped

[XstreamGaming]

Hi,

I was wondering if TCadmin was able to start and stop a second exe in addition to the dedicated server binary, when the server is started and stopped in the panel?

 

Looking at the custom scripts tab, I can see how I could start the second exe it at startup, but not close it with a stop or restart command.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Regards

Instead of starting the exe configure it to start a .bat. The batch can have these commands to execute 2 processes at the same time:

start first.exe

start /wait second.exe

Thanks for the tip, working nicely.

I was wondering if TCAdmin should kill the first.exe in the example above as well as the second, when a stop command is sent?

 

I'm finding that sometimes both are killed, but sometimes only the second is.

 

Would a taskill command after "start /wait second.exe" work with TCA?

Is it still possible to have commandlines with variables in it through a bat?

 

I imagine the TCadmin would actually have to look inside the batch file.
