I have no Scheduler yet
I know alot of these will probibly be useless but its there. i start up BEC with JUST -f Config.cfg

on another note
I start up my Epoch server using my .bat file. idk if BEC needs to start up the .BAT or the arma2oaserver.exe. i dont see how Epoch will start up if i dont use the .BAT
@Echo off
start "arma2" /min "C:\Arma2DayZServer\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"

I hope this is enough info, I cant seem to find anything, there are no error in the log eaither
 
You added the BEC ip to hosts file so it doesnt' try to update? 2nd post -> http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/34071-bec-crashes-after-checking-for-new-bec-version/

BEC must start up AFTER the server and you have to have a delay .. the arma server must be running before starting BEC.

Here is my "restart.bat" that kills the BEC and the Arma server. Then I can run whatever php scripts or whatever I want .. delete logs etc .. I dont have any of that in here, but I could and should. Then it restarts the server and the BEC. so this bat file starts the other bat files. I could paste the arma startup bat file directly in here I guess.

Code:
@echo off
echo.
echo KILL arma2oaserver.exe
set serverkill="C:\arma"
cd /d %serverkill%
taskkill /im arma2oaserver.exe
echo.
echo Kill Bec.exe
set beckill="C:\arma\BEC"
cd /d %beckill%
taskkill /im bec.exe

timeout 10

echo.
echo Starting Dayz Server
:: start the server..
set dayzpath="C:\arma\"
cd /d %dayzpath%
start /min _start_overpoch.bat
echo.
echo Starting Bec
timeout 10
:: start bec
set becpath="C:\arma\BEC"
cd /d %becpath%
start /min bec.exe -f Config.cfg
echo.
echo Server Started 100%

cls
@exit
 
it posts one when it has a error. but since im not seeing any errors is not posting one. Is there anyway you could join my TS and help me? ive been rippingg my hair out

BEC has been confusing enough at times and now that it has been terminated it seems to be difficult to find the documentation any longer. I have a server i have been working on and it has a functional BEC with 7 1/2 hour restarts, 1 message in the scheduler (displays uptime just for an example so I know its working).
I have zipped (using 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/) using full pathnames. So when you unzip the file it will have all the files in the folders that I had them. I have zipped these files:
BEC folder including config, scheduler, admin
Battleye folder and cfg (needs to have the rcon password), bans.txt and the dll
Hosts file (windows/system32) which is edited so the BEC doesnt fail on update
Restart.bat file that is run by my scheduler.xml
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4RTx5O3wZvERnJBN1NsWGsxNlU/view?usp=sharing

this should be able to work on any other server with just a little changes in the configs .. change the paths to match your own actual file locations. The actual BEC files are also included as these configs will only work with the correct version of BEC. So if you use my configs, use my BEC files too so you are sure to have the correct version running.


Here is some information about the files and pastebin links so you can view them.

config.cfg
http://pastebin.com/p3ZABnh5
The BEC config.cfg file has all the important settings to make bec work. You WILL have to edit the paths to match your own server.

Scheduler.xml
http://pastebin.com/fi16BJ3r
I have a few warnings about restarts and a recurring message showing the uptime just so we know BEC is working. The actual restart job calls my restart.bat file which will shut down everything then restart it all.

Restart.bat
http://pastebin.com/6cJpT6Pg
this file uses windows batch commands to shutdown BEC and the arma server then waits a few seconds before retarting them again. google the commands for information, pretty simple stuff really. If you edit this, just always make sure that your arma server is started BEFORE you start BEC because it will fail if the arma server is not found within a few seconds. Thats why I start the server then have a delay to make sure its running before we finally start BEC.

Hosts
http://pastebin.com/Dk7qmuMS
The BEC tries to update when it starts but since the website is not active, the update will fail and so will BEC. The solution is to have it check the localhost instead and it will find no update and proceed happily along. So all we are doing is giving ibattle.org a new IP of 127.0.0.1 which is the localhost. On my computer this file was located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts ... yours may be different, google it.
