Shell scripts
There are two scripts in /home/user/Athena. Unfortunately, athena-start does not work with SVN versions. It will start all three servers but will not transfer users to the map server.
For academic reason, let us try the script anyway. You may also take the opportunity to see how a start up script is written.
First, modify the script athena-start and change instances of login-server, char-server and map-server to login-server_sql, char-server_sql and map-server_sql respectively if you are using Athena SQL. One area has been marked for you. Watch the paths too.
Make them executable:
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ chmod 755 start
$ chmod 755 athena-start
|
Alternative command:
$ chmod +x start
$ chmod +x athena-start
|
Start Athena using start script:
The start script will launch athena-start.
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ ./start
|
Start Athena using athena-start script:
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ ./athena-start start
|
Test it anyway
You might want to try logging in. Who knows?
Those scripts are said to work on FreeBSD without modification.
Modified version of start and athena-start are available on request.
Binaries
Let us start Athena servers separately (without _sql for TXT user):
login server:
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ ./login-server_sql
|
char server:
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ ./char-server_sql
|
map server:
$ cd /home/user/Athena
$ ./map-server_sql
|
The Athena server is ready.
Confirmation
Let us check whether Athena is listening to the correct ports:
login-server:
|
$ ps ax | grep login-server
|
char-server:
|
$ ps ax | grep char-server
|
map-server:
|
$ ps ax | grep map-server
|
Other methods
There are other methods, including automatic start-up when system reboot, but those are outside the scope.
