An armagetron advanced dedicated game server
/etc/init.d/armagetronad-dedicated {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status\}
armagetronad-dedicated [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--doc] [--fastforward] [--benchmark] [--record] [--playback]
The Armagetron Advanced dedicated server runs from an initscript -- to enable running it on boot, edit /etc/default/armagetronad-dedicated.
The server program will read default settings from /etc/armagetronad/settings_dedicated.cfg. Modifications and custom server settings should be implemented in the file /etc/armagetronad/settings_custom.cfg.
To edit configuration on-the-fly or make time-sensitive temporary changes, it's best to log onto the server from the armagetronad client and log on as an administrator (using the password set in the server configuration). Console input is not available when running the server as a daemon.
Before each round is started, the file /etc/armagetronad/everytime.cfg is read; it may be useful to use this for things like randomly changing maps or other quickly changing settings.
Note: Only options that are relevant for invoking armagetron-dedicated via the command line (and not the initscript) are documented here. See armagetronad-dedicated --help for a complete reference.
