NAME

       armagetronad-dedicated - an Armagetron Advanced dedicated game server

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/init.d/armagetronad-dedicated start|stop|restart|force-reload|status

       armagetronad-dedicated  [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--doc] [--fastforward] [--benchmark]
       [--record] [--playback]

DESCRIPTION

       The Armagetron Advanced dedicated server runs from an initscript -- to enable  running  it
       on boot, edit /etc/default/armagetronad-dedicated.

       The       server       program       will       read       default      settings      from
       /etc/armagetronad/settings_dedicated.cfg. Modifications and custom server settings  should
       be implemented in the file /etc/armagetronad/settings_custom.cfg.

       To  edit  configuration  on-the-fly or make time-sensitive temporary changes, it's best to
       log onto the server from the armagetronad client and log on as an administrator (using the
       password set in the server configuration). Console input is not available when running the
       server as a daemon.

       Before each round is started, the file /etc/armagetronad/everytime.cfg is read; it may  be
       useful  to  use  this  for  things  like  randomly changing maps or other quickly changing
       settings.
