Process can only be terminated forcefully (with /f option)

[powle]

I would like to have my Conan Server updated automatically but this only runs via the Taskmanager as task. So I get the following message: "This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /f option)"

What is the best thing I can do now?

Did you run the steamcmd script as an administrator

Also in the script at around lines 183 and 210

It says taskkill /PID %texte%

Modify it to this

taskkill /PID %texte% /f

If that solves your problem I will update the Github repo with the task managers force kill command line option. Prevent anyone else having this same problem.

I'm a bit worried about forcefully killing it. When you ^C the log window it does some cleanup and I'm worried about corrupting the server's database. Is there no way to send that signal without forcefully shutting it down? I'm not sure how that works in Windows.

Also, it seems to want to kill my process after the first 60 seconds even though there was no patch... am I doing something wrong?

Edit: So the appid is 443030 for installation, the Steam store page has 440900, but both of those have the empty 'game' json when looking at the API. Is there a different ID I need for Conan Exiles?

I'm having some trouble with your script. It will update and launch the server but the server runs 2 programs, when it checks for a new version all it is doing is creating multiple instances of the server. I'm not sure how to fix this.

This worked. I also added "+force_install_dir" before "login"

New problem though. Everytime it rechecks for a new update I get "Bind couldn't find an open port between 27015 and 27015"

I was under the impression I could run the server and this script 24/7 with minimal downtime.
It's like it's not terminating the process.
