About LinkBacksSgtMic said he had the same problem. If it were one Box that did it, but both linux servers and all the TS servers on those boxes? I and other admins are on these boxes daily, it was after the update!

Disk space is not an issue on these boxes. If the server.db are zeroed out, how do the servers continue to function with all of the programming? Before you reinstalled that server it was running with all the channels and registered users. This is why I am saying I will check with the other guys and see what they want to do. The servers are running and properly configured, cpanel does not show it but they are.
as I said earlier in this post, It is not stopping it from running or starting. It is running and only cpanel shows it is not. we can connect to them and they are fine. cPanel shows they are not running.
I checked and the server.dbs are not zeroed. They are 26K & 24K. I can not check the other one now as it has been fixed. These other two have the same problem as the one you fixed and they are not zero bit server.dbs
There is nothing wrong with the actual server or the TS server. It solely has to do with the latest cPGS patch(s).
The TS servers function just fine. We use it daily. It's just that the client side of cPGS shows the server not running. Whereas before the patch, it showed them as running unless, they were stopped.
islanding - there is no doubt that on the server I looked at the file was zero bytes, I think I even showed the `ls -al` output of it. I had logged in, killed the running server and tried starting it again, that is when I saw the server.dbs was zero bytes. Without that file it won't start up properly. It sounds like there may be a different problem on the other servers.
SgtMic - If this is still hapenning with 0.6.16, please put in a ticket so I can figure out what is going on. It may be that the server just needs to be stopped from the shell and started from cPGS so it can start tracking it again.
Ticket # 388302 submitted.
Update 0.6.15
It is the same problem on all the servers. I guess I can not explain it in a way that you understand. It is not having a problem starting! It can not start from cpanel because it is already running. Cpanel shows it is not, but it is! All of these TS servers had this same problem at the same time on multiple boxes after the patch.
After killing the process in shell and starting it in cpanel seems to have worked.
That was exactly what I was referring to when I said this on a previous post:
The restart script basically runs through the gameserv_restart list and sends a start signal to cPGSD for each of those games. cPGSD then says "it's already running, next.. or ok, starting..". In the case of TS, it won't start if it finds a pid file there at all, so cPGS has to delete it before starting. What was happening is that the restart script would send the start signal for TS to cPGSD, which would then in turn delete the PID file but then say "it's already running". Once the PID was deleting, cPGS had no way of tracking the running TS server, causing it to not show up in cPanel. My fix for it was to add a restart flag that cPGSD could look at to determine whether or not to restart the server before deleting the PID file. The only way to get the TS server back after the fix is to either put the PID of the TS server into the ts.pid file manually or do what you did, kill the server manually then start it up from cPGS. This was not the problem that the specific server in your ticket had, hence the confusion I think. Hopefully that explains it.but rather with the pid file being deleted on restart attempts causing it to "disappear"
Update 0.6.15
As always Thank You for your help and patience.
