-Less downtime, more fun for your players, more power to you!​

Are you a Minecraft server administrator? Do you value up-time and stability? Do you fancy the ability to remotely control your server, both in-game and out of game, in a myriad of useful ways from a plethora of different devices?

• Full remote console access via telnet with support for multiple terminal types!
• Telnet daemon conforms to current Telnet related RFCs!
• Customizable alert messages!
• Fully extendable though 3rd party modules!
• Full feature set works with most craftbukkit builds!

Firstly, this is super awesome and just what I was looking for. XD

But I appear to be being a bit silly somewhere, cause I can't figure out how to disable the automatic restarts, doing ".set restarts off" has (or appears to have) no affect, and I can't see anything in the config to disable it. Using Minecraft Remote Toolkit R10 Alpha 13 & CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.2.5-R5.0-b2262jnks (MC: 1.2.5) (Implementing API version 1.2.5-R5.0)

 

I have posted this program on here before almost 6 months ago, but I finally took the time to totally recode it using the UDP API! It now works perfectly! I havnt seen a single glitch or flaw that I havnt fixed in hours of testing! I would appreciate it you could post a download link on your main post! Here it is, an upgraded, improved RTK Controller using UDP! Has the option to save 1 server session settings! (ip, port, user, pass, salt) You can load up your saved session/server any time you start up the program!
Download link (try it out and comment): http://retrocraftmc.com/downloads/rtkcontroller.jar
I am currently working on an applet version! I hope to include this on my website, I'll post when I'm finished!!

UPDATE: I may also work on a android app version! I had tried this before but it was extremely buggy so I canceled the project.

Trouble downloading .jar? Download a .zip file here! http://retrocraftmc.com/downloads/rtkcontroller.zip

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Can you please add this to BukkitDev so that CraftBukkitUpToDate will update this automatically?

 

update to 1.3.1 bukkit please<3

 

is there any need for an update?

 

does this work in 1.3.1 bukkit?

 

for me it works nice!

 

ya i noticed it works :3

 

how does the autosave work?

How to make server autosave every 15 seconds?

 

Code:

server-saveall-period=15s

 

bump again... ?

 

Anyway we can download JUST the crash detection part of this plugin? That would make my day. I might donate if you could help me out )

 

Rtk + SpaceBukkit = <3

Very well done to you sir, Hope to see future updates and new features.

 

I had this plugin setup, but then it started randomly shutting down the server. Any explanations?

 

It would appear that the download link, as well as your website's index is not working...

EDIT: Everything appears to be working well now, looking forward to trying this out.

 

CRITICAL BUG: Thread Leak

I have been using the remote toolkit for a while now. I use it mainly to perform a scheduled restart of Bukkit every 24 hours. The heartbeat plugin is enabled and any remote (telnet) funcionality is disabled.

My Bukkit server is running on a VPS (Linux) which allows at most 650 parallel running threads. When using this remote toolkit the whole server (the whole VPS ont only Bukkit) is blocked every 3 weeks (or so) - it can't even create a new thread for a new SSH connection.

The attachement threads.zip contains:
wrapper.properties - RemoteToolkit config
remote.properties - RemoteToolkit config
threads.txt - Thread statistics of the last 3 days of the RemoteToolkit
threads.sh - Script used to generate the thread statistics

Edit: I don't knot why the attachement is not shown but here is a alternative link: http://lukasf.at/threads.zip

 

Works in 1.3.1? please reply

 

Good to know

 

I can confirm this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Edit: Are you using any toolkit modules?

 

No. Only the default RemotToolkit R10a13

 

Could you provide a thread dump (after the number of live threads has grown considerably)?
Provided you have a JDK installed, you can obtain one with:

Code:

jstack -l <pid> > threaddump.txt

 

Thre RemotToolkit is now at 114 Threads.
This is the current thread dump: http://www.lukasf.at/thread_dump.txt
In a week or so i can give you a bigger list.

 

I have released an update which should correct the issue. Let me know if the problem persists.

 

Ok thank you.
Remote Toolkit R10 Alpha 13.1 is now running. I will inform you about the staus in the next days.

 

Im having memory leaks on my server and would like to start the server with:
"java -Xincgc -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui"​

but with the wrapper I can only change the heap-sizes. Is there a way to change this?​

 

In wrapper.properties:

Code:

extra-runtime-arguments=-Xincgc,-Djline.terminal\=jline.UnsupportedTerminal

 

Then do i just get rid of the initial and maximum heap?

 

You can leave them since java will not honor the Xms flag when -Xincgc is set. Bear in mind that the maximum heap size does still need to be set when you are using the incremental gc.

 

Hmm still having memory leak problems. But if i run the server without the toolkit with
"java -Xincgc -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui"
its fine.

 

How exactly are you coming to the conclusion that there is a memory leak?
