[INACTIVE][ADMIN/MECH/GEN] RestartNow v0.3_2 - Full server restarts [818 - 1060]

This is a GREAT idea, now if I can get it working it'll be an AWESOME plugin!

I've got restartNowMain.jar in the server directory.
I've got restartNow.jar and the RestartNow directory in the plugins/ directory
I've set up config.properties to have my OS (ubuntu) and my start script (runmc.sh)
I run the server as a user called minecraft, all files are owned by that user, and all files are chmod'd to 777 (essentially, fully read/writable by anyone).

I can start the server and get no errors in the logs, and I can use all of the commands I've tested... But as far as I can tell the app will not restart the server after it's been stopped, whether I use the /restart command or whether it restarts automatically.

I ran the troubleshooting command from the server directory:
minecraft@MC-PC:/home/minecraft/bukkit$ java -jar restartNowMain.jar "runmc.sh" "ubuntu" "1"
minecraft@MC-PC:/home/minecraft/bukkit$

If I'm watching top (kind of like windows task manager) I'll see the java process start and stop quickly, but no results are posted to the terminal window - basically looks to me like nothing is happening.

I'm running Ubuntu 11 on a 64 bit processor using the SunJDK 64bit for linux if that's of any help.

Thoughts? Questions?

@Ryan Palkovic thanks a TON for the detailed error report. I currently know that restartNow is not working with linux or os x systems. It would/will be fixed in 0.2, which i was expecting to come out with yesterday, but i have had the same error for 8 hours now and still haven't been able to solve it. If i can't fix it by tomorrow, i will hopefully come out with another hotfix (v0.1.3) to fix it. Theres only bug stopping me from releasing 0.2, but once i get it, 0.2 will be out

Well making 0.2, i *accidentally* made a /pluginreload feature. Should reload only that plugin Need to test it, but that will be in 0.2 once i fix this one error!

0.2 will come today. Fixed the bug, finally.
Features:
Plugin reload-Reload only one plugin
Broadcast message when server is x time away from restarting(not finished yet)
Much better command/config parsing(adds second, minute, hour, day!)

Would this be compatible with server hosting or a brohoster control panel?

it should be!

I might try this after i fall asleep and wake up again.

I would wait about 3/4 hours because there will be a big update out that will be much more stable.

Got all the bugs worked out, look for it in a hour or so

sigh...tried this out cause this is exactly what i need, but got an error

oh, and i'm running windows 7 64 bit
i think i know what's wrong, i just don't know how to fix it. you said the name of the cmd prompt title should be MC? as you said yourself the instructions are a bit lacking. though any help would be highly appreciated. I've just never had the chance to mess around with bats so i don't know that much.

Thats interesting. Does the server start back up? Also, what is the *title* of the command prompt. All it should say is MC. if it says something like C:\system32\cmd.exe MC or administrator - MC, then you need to not run it as administrator. sorry, theres not really much i can do about it :/

sigh...ok, thanks for responding.

the problem is you cant have < > in the name. i had the same problem but keeping the < > and only putting run.bat makes it run with a "bad syntax". also i would advise adding this to the windows instructions.

oh, you mean people are putting <run.bat> ?

yes that was what people may put there, i know that i did as that is what the instructions seem to say

Aidan, the problem is that for the most part, you're dealing with the lowest common denominator here. People who have never run a server and have no idea what they're doing think that they can run an MC server for cheaper (better/whatever) then they can find one online so they try to do it themselves without any experience.

I would never have considered wrapping my bat/sh file in brackets, but I have a decent amount of experience under my belt. You've got to write instructions as if people have never used a computer, unfortunately.

That said - any progress on 0.2? Can't wait to start using this on my server.

Alright, So I am on a Mac computer. I configured my properties accordingly and followed your directions step by step. However it does not seem to work. I do not get any errors but it just isn't working for some reason. For my operating system I put OS X, and the executable I put start.command - how I start my server.

Thanks, i realize that now I'm going to update the OP with pictures asap, along with 0.2
make note, never give a release date

I hope you update this plugin ^^ I would love to restart my server every hour couse of cpu useage ^^.
In the moment I got this error by testing the restartnowmain.jar with this command:
java -jar restartNowMain.jar start linux 1
or
java -jar restartNowMain.jar start debian 1

Ok what it does..It does nothing..It works to /restart but it just stops the server and dosent restart I really need to restart my server please help me I have done everything it says in the description

Hi.., Just curious.. how can I change this to /reload instead of /restart? can you teach me?

Using commandhelper, you can alias this doing '/reload=/restart'

oh.. wait.. That isn't what I mean.. I want to auto reload my servers when there's no people in my server..

@morizuki
i could add that
@Deatlev and @VirusWare sorry, i *think* i know both of your issues. I'm really trying to get 0.2 out soon, but i have a life too Linux support is the only way of keeping me from releasing it.... Right now to start the server i have tried
/bin/bash screen ./<sh name> *doesn't work*
/bin/bash ./<sh name> *starts server without gui*
i just need to find out how to use screen, and it will be out. If only i had a Ubuntu machine!

woah nice.. Thanks.. I'll wait for that

yep. Thinking about it, that would be really easy

haha okk thanks

in the next update.
linux support *head banging*

also can you do something about the time? instead of Minutes.. use seconds?
