Race Day Info. - Round 5 Sunday 9th Jan - Jarama

[Myles (Mr Fox)]

Important info…

Automated Server Restart Trial!

Up until now, in order to get the race (Qualy, actually) to start on time, I’ve had to set various reminders, log in remotely to the server etc. - all of which are prone to error, distraction and so on…

From this Round 5, we are trialling a race server app that attempts to restart the server at set time(s). I will still try to log in over the Qualy/race-start period in case of issues that need manual intervention, but hopefully this app will do most of the work.

THE APP IS RUNNING NOW!
Any weirdness, let me know. The app will currently restart the server every day at 1725hrs (UK) WITHOUT WARNING.

Glitch last night (unable to properly join server) might have been due to me running an old version of the app. Oops. Latest version will be trialled from this afternoon and should now include a 60 sec countdown warning (through normal message system) of imminent restart.

Race join message will also be updated for Round 5 info at same time. Password will (as usual) only be applied at some point pre-race on Sunday.
