Server restart script ?

Hello, does anyone have a restart script for linux that works ?

 

I can give you one that doesn't work.

 

Ok

 

Look in my signature. Ascii Bukkit Menu (ABM). While its more than a restart script, it has that feature.

 

I use the RemoteToolkitWrapper for restarting the server - Also has crash detection. I use it because SpaceBukkit

 

You can do this in the start file

Code:

@ECHO OFF
//add this :begin
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDER%"
java.exe -Xmx7000M --Xms7000 -jar craftbukkit.jar
//add this  goto begin

 

wouldn't this just start the server up if I stopped it?
Can anyone help me with this? It only works fine if I do it manually, though if I make a crontab for it and close the terminal. Once the crontab runs, it only stops the server and won't start it back up.
Using linux(centos)/screen.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "say Server restarting in 30 seconds!"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 5
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "save-all"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 10
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "say Server restarting in 15 seconds!"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 3
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "butcher"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 8
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "say Server restarting in 5 seconds!"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 5
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "kickall Server is restarting!"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 1
screen -x minecraft -X stuff "stop"
screen -x minecraft -X eval "stuff \015"
sleep 30
screen -wipe
sleep 3
cd /root/server
./start.sh

 

Why not just have crontab stop the server and then use an infinite loop in your start.sh so that it never needs to use ./start.sh?

 

Sorry I thought you wanted it for when you stop the server... D:

 

But what if one time I wanted to stop the server and not restart?

 

Stop the server and hit control+c. I have this setup and added a 5 second delay between the server completely stopping and restarting, so if i need to stop it I have 5 seconds to hit control+c.

 

Can I see what your script looks like? And is this linux?

 

Yes, it's linux.
I have mine setup in two files to make it easier for me. To start the server, I use ./run.sh. To restart, I use /stop. To completely stop the server, I use /stop, wait for it to finish, and use ctrl+c.
run.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen -S "Minecraft" bash -c "sh /root/Creative/loop.sh"

loop.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
        java -Xincgc -Xmx7G -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui
        echo "If you want to completely stop the server process now, press Ctrl+C before the time is up!"
        echo "Rebooting in:"
        for i in 5 4 3 2 1
        do
                echo "$i..."
                sleep 1
        done
        echo "Rebooting now!"
done

Where " java -Xincgc -Xmx7G -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui" is whatever your server startup command is.

 

Take a look at McMyAdmin, the basic version does modify your properties so you can only have up to 8 people, but the professional version is cheap and well worth the pay, we use it and it allows us to stop start and reset our servers from any location.

 

Thanks so much man! This works perfectly!
