Originally created by @JimTR on GitHub (Jan 6, 2016).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/608

I wanted a fresh copy of the monitor script so I ran deleted the file and ran './server monitor'
response loading fn_monitor...Not Found
chmod: cannot access ‘fn_monitor’: No such file or directory
./server: line 92: /usr/games/steam/GarrysMod/functions/fn_monitor: No such file or directory

so running wget -N /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm/fn_monitor gives the following response
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 400 Bad Request
2016-01-06 11:38:00 ERROR 400: Bad Request.

so I guess we are a forced upgrade to the new script format ?

Hi, sorry to learn that.

All commands and scripts has been renamed to script_name.sh instead of script_name, even the function listing all other functions, present in your main script (in your case gmodserver).
It concerns core_functions.sh and core_getopt.sh.
I guess that's why you're experiencing the issue. So yeah, compatibility is a bit broken, and it will probably not be fixed, you're gonna have to update.

If you wanna update from that, i advise you to remove the functions folder ( rm -R functions), then to rename your old gmodserver script, like (mv gmodserver old.gmodserver), get the new one, and transfer your settings to the new gmodserver script. Don't forget to chmod +x it again, and you're ready to go !

Don't complain too much about that, i've got 12 servers to update that way ! But i'm happy about the update :p

As I have made loads of changes to the core scripts, in order for the overall script to be ran remotely, this is not an option ... My current project has cut out all the coloured responses & non required lines of display so the php web code can read the responses without having to strip out the afore mentioned ... I would guess if , like you, I was running the terminal from a terminal I would have all the 56 servers I have running updated to the new format but I guess if the old code is available I could fork the code and continue develop without any issue

Wow, excuse me sir ! Didn't see that coming !
I'm now not sure how you can get that sorted out. Maybe a batch renaming of your functions to match the new system ? You seem like you're very comfortable with programming. What information do you need to figure how to get this solved ?

Just to give you an idea the structure is such -
Web controller sat on a server ... that auth's the linux user (to another server) the web code then runs (as the authed user) lgsm as that user ... to save disk space there is one installation of each game and when a lgsm server is added to a user some of the game code is symlinked to the users install ... this allows 'update once' across multiple users (there are some pitfalls to this , but I am close to a solution). To fix this I have installed a 'new' server to see what the differences are .. therefore it may be just a quick fix !!
this image is the current web controller of lgsm

there is debug code in the r/h lower corner :)

Maybe instead of modifying the script and break compatibility with script updates, something like that would be a better integration in the future :
https://github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm/issues/585

BTW, i really like that web admin panel.
I've been dreaming of something like that since a while.
Maybe something even more advanced with user management, that i could integrate to wordpress and give some serveradmin users the right to reboot a server or send commands to it.

1st post : Do you have the possibility to give rights to certain users to reboot certain servers only ?

2nd post : Woudln't it allow you to add your module without touching the base code ? Or are your modifications too deep for that to be enough ? I guess it's too deep as you removed some GUI funcitons.

You should probably make your own branch of the script.

Each web user can restart every lgsm server he/she owns ... if you note above each server the user owns opens accordion style which then allows you to run the commands (per button) on the sever noted on it's header line

How happens ownership ?
How much PHP is under that ? :o))
What's the base of your website ? Custom, or something like Wordpress ?
I'm very interested, as i'm willing to rent servers on my machine. For now, i'm considering leaving SSH access to users, and to create servers manually as i don't plan in making that thing big, just plan to reduce the amount i pay each month for my server.

BTW, i don't see how we could give support on your script modifications. It's already hard enough to maintain and improve the base script itself. I can only advice you to use fork and use your fork in the future.

@JimTR yeah I think the best way moving forward is for you to fork LGSM then add your custom code. Then if you want to update your code from the master repo you can without LGSM master updates breaking your existing setup.

A recent version of LGSM added support for selecting a repo of your choice so you can use your own customized repo.

Hope that helps.

Also impressive work with your web interface!!

I have coded the interface ... I got hacked off with wordpress/mybb etc & spent the last 18 months coding a framework that does what I wanted ! then someone said 'can you control game servers' hence I'm here and the result is the images you see ... so process wise it works like this :- the web code auth's the user .. the php code then sends code to the game server (different machine & ip) using the Auth that the web code has E.G log into the web site as 'fred' you can see only what 'fred' owns ... so 'fred' opens his gmod server and clicks the restart button the web server sends a string to the game server containing '/home/fred/games/garrysmod/gmodserver restart' with the user Auth and other bits to ensure that the server could not be controlled via an intercept

@JimTR Don't know about mybb, i've always been using phpbb without issues, after setting some anti-robot registrationg ofc. :)
I first had only a phpbb forum, then made a wordpress and integrated the phpbb in it (with user links) thanks to wp-united, which is lovely. I'm not perfectly happy with the integration though, which i find quite ugly, but at least there's not too many CSS issues. I wish i'd know how to make WP addons to add functions to the local or to a remote machine... Maybe i'll follow your tracks one day... I've got more and more reasons to learn PHP these days.

I think there may be a common ground here we're not seeing. Perhaps something as simple as a "Bare Output Only" flag that disables all the ANSI color codes? I got bit by the same bug, I think it might be worthwhile to just write a script to list all the new files/functions and make a "deprecation script" that maps the old names to the new calls, should be fairly straightforward. Is there anything else in your fork that might be useful in the core scripts, we may be able to break it apart and have you focus on the Web UI and then be able to use the LGSM stock. Cut your workload down quite a bit anyway.

Would it be easier to just dump all output to a file (or fifo) and parse it when you ingest it there? I usually don't like relying on others for input sanitation, if you want to show me what you're up to I may be able to lend a hand.
