I've followed the guide Dedicated Server Quick Setup Guide - Linux and to start it I use screen ~/run_dedicated_servers.sh so I can detach from the console.
With this setup I have two problems, but the most annoying one is with the logs. When I'm doing c_shutdown() it needs at least a second if not third command to actually shut down the game server. Something wrong happens cos that the chat and server log files aren't backed up properly.
Before doing the c_shutdown() I copied the server_chat_log.txt and server_log.txt from Master server to another location. Did the shutdown, started the game server with screen as mentioned above and then compared the server_chat_log.txt file that I previously saved with the file the game backed up in Master/backup/server_chat_log/server_chat_log_2016-08-18-09-06-24.txt and there's a HUGE difference. The server_chat_log_2016-08-18-09-06-24.txt has only 200 lines out of the 1834 lines the initial server_chat_log.txt file has.
Before backing up Master/server_chat_log.txt somewhere make sure there are over 200 lines in it then get on server console and shut it down with c_shutdown(), compare the previously saved Master/server_chat_log.txt with the last file you can find in Master/backup/server_chat_log folder. Notice the difference.
