Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2513

User Story

I have root cronjobs to manage the ts3server. It looks like this:

@reboot su - ts3server -c '/home/ts3server/ts3server monitor' > /dev/null 2>&1
30 5 * * * su - ts3server -c '/home/ts3server/ts3server update' > /dev/null 2>&1
0 0 * * 0 su - ts3server -c '/home/ts3server/ts3server update-functions' > /dev/null 2>&1

Since 2019.09.14. when the update command runs, the server stops and I have to manually start. This happened 2 days in a row.

I have updates below.

Basic info

Distro: Debian 10.1
Game: TeamSpeak3 server
Command: ./ts3server update

Further Information

When I manually run the update command by the ts3server user, or with root, no server stoppings.

Logs

script:

Don't mind the 03:30 timestamp. It was at 05:30, but ts3server somehow logged 03:30.

updated postdetails (2020.05.10.):

Expected behaviour

No stopping during updates.

Updates

No stopping on the 3rd and 4th day (today).
No 'Accounting' error in the server logs.

Before this I was changing TeamSpeak password via ./ts3server change-password
During the password change, it notified me that ts3server will be restarted. A stop occurred, but a restart not. I had to manually start the server again. The anomaly described in this issue started after this:

server stopped during update and update-functions

This issue is just happened again. And I have no idea what triggered it.

console:

Note: The timestamps are off, but this happened on the same time.

I had to manually start.

My cronjobs:

###TeamSpeak###
@reboot su - ts3server -c '/home/ts3server/ts3server monitor' > /dev/null 2>&1
30 5 * * * su - ts3server -c '/home/ts3server/ts3server update' > /dev/null 2>&1

Yesterday it happened out of the blue, no update was scheduled, and dropped everyone on the server:

2020-05-09 22:00:24.504222|ERROR   |Accounting    |   |failed to register local accounting service: No such file or directory
2020-05-09 22:00:24.504281|INFO    |VirtualServerBase|1  |client disconnected 'r3imal'(id:120) reason 'reasonmsg=Server Shutdown!'

2020-05-09 22:00:24.504800|INFO    |VirtualServerBase|1  |stopped

I found this, but the source site is does not exists:

FIx "Failed to register local accounting service" error message

Edit /etc/fstab and add the following line at the bottom:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Source: http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php/68827-Failed-to-register-local-accounting-service

And found this issue, which might be related: #2436
It says I have to delete this file:

ts3server@debian:~$ ls -al /dev/shm
total 4
drwxrwxrwt  2 root      root        60 May 10 11:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root      root      3300 May  6 17:53 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 ts3server ts3server  128 May 10 11:25 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8

But the ownership looks right.

When the ts3server is not running, the 7gbhujb54g8z9hu43jre8 file doesn't exists:

ts3server@debian:~$ ls -al /dev/shm
total 0
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root   40 May 11 05:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 3300 May  6 17:53 ..

After I start it creates it.

I found this in the official docs:

Imho a fix could be created, that could delete this if no other Teamspeak 3 instance is running on the server.
But this should not happen usually if the server is stopped under normal conditions.

Is this common to most game servers or just ts3? I have an issue where my Valheim server stops after updates (set to check for update during server start in the config). Was wondering if this is related at all, or if I should keep looking. Thanks.
