Loading ET configs...

(dirtyoldgoat) #1

Anyone know if it’s possible to load the ET server config file through a desktop shortcut?
For example:

I want my ET server to run with one config at 9am until 5pm.

At 5pm I want windows task scheduler, to terminate that server and start another ET server with a different server config. The easiest way to do that without installing two DIFFERENT Enemy Territory servers would be if I can create a shortcut and in the target area of the shortcut define what config I want to load.

Any suggestions, ideas, comments would be greatly appreciated…

+exec server.cfg

thats how servers are normally launched, afaik anyway.

If you look hard I think you’ll find a better program than task scheduler to do that for you, though most auto-server scripts seem to be for Linux (unsurprisingly).
