The Batch Script File

A batch script is a text document that stores a list of commands to be run in sequence. The main use of a batch script for hosting a server is to enable the server owner to make sure their server is up to date and if the server crashes that it will resume. The easiest way to do this is by using the GOTO statement. GOTO will allow you to jump around in your batch script to any other part of the batch file.

Rust - The only aim in Rust is to survive. To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town. Do whatever it takes to survive. I'm thinking about getting Rust on my iMac. All of my other games like Arma 3 and BF4 run at 60-70 fps at Medium settings. I love the game, I just don't want to spend $20 on a game that won't run on my iMac.

It’s important to note that Rust sometimes hangs instead of completely closing. In this case the server will not restart if the process hangs because the process did not actually stop. Batch scripting waits for a command to complete (in this case the RustDedicated.exe) but if that process never completes the batch script will just sit there.

For the most part, you will have to configure all of your server settings in this batch script. The config files for the server don't quite work yet so explicitly defining all of your settings in the batch script is the best way to go. Below is an example.:
