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.
