Originally created by @NemesisRE on GitHub (May 28, 2015).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/407

Would it be possible to add in the arma3server script something like "headlessclient=yes/no" to spawn a Headless client besides the server?

It should use the server password if set from the server config and as IP 127.0.0.1 startup parameters would be then like this:

-client -connect =127.0.0.1 -port=${port_from_cfg} -pass=${password_from_cfg} -mod=${mods}

And I would like to thank you for your great work it is awesome!

regards
Steven

This may be possible. Whats the point exactly of the headlessclient?

Arma Servers use only 2 CPU Cores and max of 2GB ram, to get a higher performance without switching to 64bit binary, as a "Quickfix" they provided headless clients which can takeover the AI calculations from the server.

Got ya. I'm sure I could implement this. However it won't be a top priority currently. If someone it willing to add this in sooner I would be happy to merge :-)

Hi,

I did a small bash-script exactly for this.
first parameter is start, stop, restart
second parameter (optional) name of headless client to start multiple.

./hc start
./hc start HC2
./hc start HC3

Just place it inside /home/arma3server and make it executable

find the script here: http://pastebin.com/QuUJgYH8

I have 4 Headless Clients for one arma instance setup, quite nice and simple to use.
I basicly just copied the bash script and added the -client and -connect to the param line aswell as my mods.
Works absolutly fine, serivce name though need to be different from original.
servicename="arma3-server-headlessclient1"

I love this LGSM Library saved my lots of hours of work! Thx @dgibbs64

@PhilPhonic might be a good idea to place your script in to a GithubRepo. I will be closing this issue now
