<div class="IPBDescription">Linux Server Administration</div> This program only works on linux servers, but its great!
www.halfd.org

It cannot use plugins, but has lots of built-in stuff. And it doesnt have the same RCON password problem as adminmod does, because it runs on its own port and then tranfers the client commands to hlds_run

Swear Filter (monitors what client say, and kicks/bans after a certain amount)
Response Bot
Max and/or Min ping enforcement
Weapon limits: Ability to configure global and/or map-specific bans
Auto-restart of a crashed server
Auto-archive of log and core files upon a crash
Optional email with details upon a crash
Robust map voting system
Voting can start when a keyword is said or as the map is ending
Status is displayed as players vote
Allows votes on changing the mod that the server is running
Weapon and sucide taunts

Client Commands: rockthevote, whattime, maplist.

Check out my server, i run it. (i run clanmod too, just for the console greet)

I used this until recently. It started banning people for words not in the profanity list. Words not even close. It banned people for .....

i run halfd on my server and it bans only those who say those naughty words. you have to setup the halfd.badwords file right.

It works fine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I did set it up correctly and it worked very well for some time, then it started to act funny. It also added some lag to the system.

It is written in TCL/TCLx

These are bloated scripting languages, why he chose these i dunno, but it will add some lag...along on my system i've never had it go above 1% it is usually considered an idle process on my server.

Well, i dunno what happened to yours. Were you running 2.20b3? or just 2.19? because the patches are on the front page and very small posts. But i've been running halfd since i started up my NS server and have had Zero problems.

My server uses 0.1 % CPU and 1% Memory and it runs tons of plugins with no problems.

From what I can tell it interacts with half-life roughly the same way a server admin - ie it reads off the console and types commands -- it doesn't hijack the game the way metamod and other chainloaded programs do. This means it should be <i>much</i> lighter on resources, but incapable of doing anything that messes with the game (e.g. burying players or censoring messages)
But I could be totally wrong...

Yea, you are pretty much wrong.

It can send messages, and if you have adminmod installed it can slay, bury, etc if you set it up that way.

Halfd just hijacks the stdout and stderr into a TCL script. From there you hash the output (based on your config) what to do with it...the default is nothing. Then you connect to the HalfD daemon and choose the level out output you would like to see. (log or just chat). after that, you can send it Rcon commands w/o having to type rcon password admin_command admin_slay #32

just type admin_slay #32 (it will prepend the admin_command part).

Of course it can send messages - an admin can do that, it could also interact with adminmod in the same way. By incapable I ment by itself :-/ .
