Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/951

Would you folks be willing to create a backup command that will skip the prompt?
Perhaps something like gameserver bn ??

Thanks!

If you wish to do this using cron, see the extended discussion here:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/linuxgsm/discussions/0/371919771743473258/

The one-liner to do what you want to do is found in this latter post:

I am not using it in the cron, I'm actually using something called zip-updater that updates the Oxide plugin for RUST. I've created some functions in that program like so in bash, so that I can use the zip-updater to call lgsm to stop the server, back it up, then update it, then update oxide, and allow zip-updater to do it's own backup and restart the server..

I am not a experienced bash scripting guru. I'm learning as I go. How would you execute the echo in this instance. I am not quite sure why the backup procedure on lgsm has a confirmation prompt. I would make changes to the lgsm backup function script to skip the prompt but then any time it would be updated, I would lose those changes.

Example Code:

`fn_stop_server(){
# Stop Server
bash "${lgsmdir}"rustserver "sp"
}

fn_start_server(){
# Start server

bash "${lgsmdir}"rustserver "st"
}

fn_update_server(){
bash "${lgsmdir}"rustserver "u"
}

fn_backup_server(){
bash "${lgsmdir}"rustserver "b"
}`

@gjdunga Somebody followed my tutorial :D Glad you like the Zip Updater :p
I wish to find a way to add those functions to LGSM. :)

The backup function would need some enhancements anyways, so that you can set a backup amount to keep for example, and eventually automate an upload to a backup server.

Waiting for that, Cedar gave you the way even if you're not using cronjobs for that , here is an example:
cd /home/tsgo/ts3 && printf "yes\nno\n" |./ts3server backup >/dev/null 2>&1

@UltimateByte , I've pondered that myself, that is combining the two. I know that when you do that, your having to do that for many games, so it's going to be a pain in the logistical arse.

BTW. Thank you for making Zip-Updater!

Please excuse my ignorance, but let's say write this as ?

fn_backup_server(){
bash cd "${lgsmdir}"&& printf "yes\nno\n" |./rustserver backup >/dev/null 2>&1 
}`

Off to go test it.. May be a few hours.. Groceries don't get themselves !!

Yeah, i think it might work.
Where are you putting those functions by the way ? If you're using ${lgsmdir} it means you integrated it in lgsm, right ?

If you're running this (or invoking the function running) as the "rustserver" user and outside of cron, this shorter version would likely work just as well:
printf "yes\nno\n" | ~/rustserver backup >/dev/null 2>&1

(In the original Steam discussion, the user and the installation directory weren't LGSM defaults.)

Yeah @cedarlug that's exactly why i'm asking that. If he's within the LGSM environment, no need to cd. :)

Yup. We will have to have a look at the backup function at some point btw.

Wanted to say, that the function as I wrote it above, is working well.
@UltimateByte No, all of these changes are in zip-updater.

See full zip-updater code here:

I could pull lgsm and tinker to get zip-updater in there. However It would only be the rust side, I have not looked how you change code for the other games.

Well, we'd need a smart way to implement additional functions such as this to LGSM.
It's already on its way https://github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm/issues/602
