This is my first plugin : suggestions and feedback appreciated

 

This is what's in my batch folder

 

Problem still persists, it seems to spew out a shit ton of errors when it shuts down too.

 

Send me your server.log

 

How would I set this up to work with Linux? I used the config.yml below, but it didn't restart. It just shut the server down.

Code:

config:
    # Active/deactivates plugin
    enable: 'true'

    # Active/deactivates restart at times or delay (true or false)
    autorestart: 'true'

    # Args to launch the server (must be placed in your bukkit folder)
    #launcher: 'java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar craftbukkit.jar'
    # If you want to launch a batch file (must be placed in your bukkit folder)
    launcher: 'sh ms2.sh'

    # How many seconds before restart to show warning message to players. Separate seconds with a comma.
    warn: '30,20,10,5,4,3,2,1'

    # Scheduled times when the server is restarting. Use 24-hour time and separate times with a comma.
    times: '12:00:00,23:00:00'

    # Delay time between each restart. Use 24-hour time.
    delay: '01:23:45'

    # Choose type of restart (times or delay)
    type: 'delay'

 

It didn't save, I also don't have the mccrestart.log since it was never created.

 

Cr@zy I'm in love with this plugin because I host a server that people can just do whatever they want in, and it causes it to lag or semi-crash alot, which makes the restart command really helpful.

One problem though, is since I'm running it on a seperate computer, I'm wondering if you could tell me how to fix this:

on the first server boot up, i type 'restart' and it does everything super perfectly..

then with that newly restarted server if i type 'restart' or 'stop' it stops the server, but doesn't close CMD prompt, it just gives me a line that I can input to. (the restart still works, just after about 4 restarts I have 3 cmd prompts open and I'm using my cousin's computer since its beast but I feel bad that I'm cluttering his space, )

It all works well, just the duplicating command prompt is a problem! Thanks though its amazing!! I wish I could write this stuff.......

~Andrew

 

i need help idk how to install, all i know how to do is get the .jar formatted ones

 

Hi Andrew,
Give me your config.yml and your batch launcher (if you use it)
Probably a pause or a start is inserted.

 

Hey Cr@zy, sorry my last post deleted itself or something, here's my batch file in my bukkit folder.

Code:

@ECHO OFF
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="64" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1536m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~-2%"=="86"  java -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

PAUSE

 

Ok, remove PAUSE

 

Hey, I remove the PAUSE, and renamed the batch file to the one in the folder. Do I need to add the path to the folder or something? This just refuses to launch, and is starting to be a downer. Any other suggestions? Thanks

 

What is your launcher arg in your config.yml?

 

In between the launcher Arguments, It just says: 'run.bat', which is the name of the launcher, and it is in the bukkit folder. I think I may of found the problem with the launcher, but now the thing isn't restarting on the 3 hour basis I have it set at, but I think that's a problem on my part. What is the difference between delay time and scheduled time? I have the scheduled time to 3,9,12,15,18,21,and 24. The delayed time to 2, but I don't really understand what the delayed time is for. Could you clarify this? Thanks.

 

Any news on when a Linux version might be released?

 

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

And I made the config.yml just run the RUN.BAT (The code up there) I'm fairly experienced. I took the PAUSE out of there after it said Press Any Key To Continue... and that fixed that, but now it just puts it to cmd.exe once the servers after the first stop.

 

Any chance that the message can display minutes in the message to my players if the 'warn' seconds is more than 60? "The server will restart in 1200 seconds..." looks just a tad silly!

# How many seconds before restart to show warning message to players. Separate seconds with a comma.
warn: '1200,600,300,60,30'

The ability to auto-close the CMD window would be handy as well, but I believe that is built into bukkit for log review purposes.

 

When I restart, it stops, but doesn't start back up. I also get an error for each plugin that is stopping when I use MCCRestart to "Restart" the server. I am running on Command Line Linux; is this compatible with this OS?

I am also using CraftBukkit b677.

 

Does this plugin launch its own screen? it works well enough if I could just stop the excess screen sessions. I know it's either this one or AutoStop, and I know that Autostop used a seperate jar to start a screen session. I also know it has been removed, and craftbukkit replaced since I had it installed. So anyway, back to the initial question, Does this plugin launch it's own screen session?

Code:

$ screen -r
There are several suitable screens on:
        28294.MinecraftServer   (04/21/2011 04:40:50 PM)        (Detached)
        25491.MinecraftServer   (04/21/2011 12:50:33 PM)        (Detached)
        25342.MinecraftServer   (04/21/2011 12:48:11 PM)        (Detached)
        25205.MinecraftServer   (04/21/2011 12:44:07 PM)        (Detached)
        20952.minecraft (04/21/2011 06:55:07 AM)        (Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

 

Issue: I'm just curious; Whenever my server restarts, upon the command line it runs from, it says "Press any key to continue." The purpose of my download on this tool, was to have it so my ops could restart the server when i'm at work, or away without needing my input in person to restart.

Issue Screen:

Full Screen URL: http://i55.tinypic.com/s5i68g.png

Q: Is it possible to turn "Press any key to continue." off, and give it full access to restart on it's own, whenever issued to restart?

Q2: Also, Whenever i "press any key to continue" it seems to just close the cmd completely, and not reopen to continue the restart. Or perhaps it's not suppose to close the cmd at all, and restart smoothly?

 

I think the problem is that MCCRestart doesnt find the "craftbukkit.jar" file
Make it look like this in your config file:
launcher: 'java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar'
Worked for me, i guess the bukkit jar file was named craftbukkit.jar before.

 

Would love to see a Linux/Unix release for this plugin.

Just noticed in console when the plugin is loaded. Mentioned I launched it on a Linux OS, does this mean it works with Linux now?

 

Hi, I think your plugin is a great idea, @Cr@zy, but It doesn't seem to be working perfectly. It stops good, then it waits 30 seconds (which I configured) but then it opens a new cmd window, trying to restart the server, and it says somthing similar to: **FAILED TO BIND TO PORT**, which I usually get when I try to host 2 servers at the same time. Hope someone knows to fix this, really need the plugin

Great plugin, looking forwards to a 733 release (if you need to update that is)

 

i am running a .sh file on a CentOS like this :

#!/bin/bash
cd "minecraft";screen -S minecraft java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

i want to put it in a screen also. so i can come back to the server with a console whenever i want.

If my minecraft folder is in /home/sand/minecraft/ then how to make this work ? cause i've tried that and it didnt restart the server.

Thanks.

 

I'm gonna make an unix and mac os update of this plugin.
@Huene: Yes i keep screen session id and relaunched the server in the same terminal. Working on it
@Hrd2GtStunned: Change the stoptime value to 30 seconds (process persist?)

Of course

 

I give you Props man great job works great /hug

 

Seconding the updated release. I consider this a required plugin on my server.

 

Thirding! Also a chime in for Linux support too would be swell.

 

I get this when trying to restart:

I am running Linux. Is it compatible?
It looks like it says it's going to restart, but then just stops. I really need a restart plugin.
