Dev Simple Server Helper

Hey everyone, I don't really contribute to the forum as in posting threads and such so I thought I'd share my latest little thing.
Note: It's nothing really fancy, but it's helped me a ton.
Basically, it's a python file that allows you to type which server you'd like to run.. Since I run multiple servers for testing, be it Deathrun, prophunt, darkrp, or others..
Basically it allows me to type the name of the one I want to run. I know I could create batch files for each, but that's boring.. :/

Btw, I'm not a "professional" at python. Just started learning it a while ago.

Here's the code if you'd like to take a look:

Spoiler: Code goes here

Code:

import subprocess
import time
import signal
import sys
from optparse import OptionParser
from datetime import datetime

parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-s", "--server", dest="server",
                  help="pick a server", metavar="SERVER")

(options, args) = parser.parse_args()

if not options.server:
    name = raw_input("Which server would you like to start?: ")
else:
    name = options.server

def signal_handler(signal, frame):
    print("Exiting due to CTRL+C")
    sys.exit(0)

def getInfo(name):
    mapName = "err"
    gamemode = "err"

    if name == "deathrun":
        mapName = "deathrun_cavern_b3"
        gamemode = "deathrun"
    elif name == "sandbox" or name == "darkrp":
        mapName = "gm_construct"
        gamemode = name
    elif name == "prophunt":
        mapName = "ph_school"
        gamemode = "prop_hunt"

    return (mapName, gamemode)

def startServer():
    (m, g) = getInfo(name)

    if m == "err" or g == "err":
        print("Could not find gamemode")
        return

    print("Starting server at {" + str(datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')) + "}...")

    cmdLine = r"srcds.exe -norestart -console -condebug -game garrysmod -nohltv -maxplayers 32 +map " + m + " +gamemode " + g + " +exec ph_server.cfg -authkey GOES HERE+host_workshop_collection {}"
    proc = subprocess.Popen(cmdLine)

    proc.wait() # Waits for the process to close, aka crash/exit/BREAK ;(

    print("Server stopped at {" + str(datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')) + "}. Restarting...")

    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)

    print("Press CTRL + C during the countdown to exit...")

    for x in range(5, 0, -1):
        print "Restarting server in %d seconds..." % (x)
        time.sleep(1)

    startServer() # Gotta love recursion ;)

startServer()

 

How long exactly did you study python?

 

@Python~

 

Well @Amr , I've been messing around with it for maybe a couple of weeks. The only reason it was such a short amount of time is due to the fact that I know a decent amount of other languages, so the transition wasn't very hard. I just needed to know the basics and I was easily able to understand enough to make moderate things.

 

A couple things;

1. Please don't mess around with me. I'm waiting til marriage :/
2. I only know English, so even if you can speak other languages I wouldn't be able to understand very well
3. I'm not "basic". And I'd like to think I'm at least a little unique

 

Aa, python is quite easy to understand but in my opinion its options are limited. I enjoy c++ more

 

Yeah, I've messed with that as well.
