How do I automatically restart a Minecraft Spigot server in the event of a crash or /stop when using screen?



Screen allows me to run my minecraft server on Linux. I also use it to perform other tasks from the same console. When using screen, all restart scripts described on the Internet and the Spigot wiki no longer worked. The "/restart" command never worked either. So how do I restart the server automatically after a short time if it crashes or I shut it down with "/stop" ingame?



Create a script to check if spigot server is running, if not, start the server. Put this script on cron to run every X minutes - Joao Vitorino Jun 2, 2020 at 1:28

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.



Tutorial



A bash script was written by a friend to automatically restart a minecraft server (spigot) in the event of a crash. Mc list It can also be used with the command "/stop" when you use screen. There are several seconds to cancel the restart with Enter. In addition, the exit codes of the previous session are written to a file, which can be used to understand when and why a server has crashed or restarted.



You need two files:



1. "start.sh"



1. "startserver.sh"



You can change the start parameters by changing the variables:



JAR = server filename



MAXRAM = maximum RAM



MINRAM = minimum RAM



TIME = time in seconds until server restarts automatically



Execute the following in the directory:



Run your start up script:



To leave the minecraft screen press Ctrl + A + D



To reconnect to minecraft screen use screen -r

I have a problem with this script since I changed os from Linux Centos 8 to Ubuntu 18.



When I was using this script to restart my Minecraft server in Linux Centos 8 I had no problem; since I changed OS to Ubuntu, I can't stop the auto restart script.



I just translated in Italian a few text rows.



This is what I see in the screen during the auto restart:

I couldn't find this log in the server logs and the pnly way to have some "proofs" of what's happening was this way. I'm new in this website so i'm not familiar with how to answer/reply to a post. I just needed some help here for this script - Anurag Borghetti Feb 18, 2021 at 19:23



I don't know why you have this error messages (./vanilla.sh not fount) but for your problem: You can still exit with Ctrl+C instead of "enter". Does it help? - Paul Becker Feb 21, 2021 at 15:20



@PaulBecker I can exit from the screen but the server runs in background and I can't stop it anymore. The only way is rebooting the machine - Anurag Borghetti Mar 17, 2021 at 11:36
