Please note this takes careful setup and know how, as even the slightest error will break the script. WINDOWS + LINUX Windows: http://bit.ly/1gt4zhE. (Instructions: 1: Open start.cmd from your pocketmine installation with notepad 2: Check to see on the last line if it contains the word "pause" If so REMOVE IT. 3: Save the file with the file type All Files, and with the name start.bat 4: Place the file into your pocketmine installation directory along with the file downloaded above (shw.bat) 5: Run shw.bat instead of start.bat from now on and your server should run with minimal downtime! ) Linux: http://bit.ly/1jV50jQ (Instructions: 1: Place shw.sh in any directory you like. 2: Configure the backup manager inside the code with "nano shw.sh" without the quotes using the instructions below. If you do not have nano please install it using yum install nano 3: Once you have edited it save it using ctrl + o and then hitting enter 4: Run shw.sh with "bash shw.sh" without the quotes 5: Use shw.sh from now on to start your server! ) Hello, Since a good few people have been asking me to create a server script to auto reboot their servers I decided to make a nice one with nice ASCII graphics for people to download, I called it SUM, Server Uptime Manager Basically you run this instead of start.sh and it "wraps" around your server with minimal configuration. It'll make sure your server stays on as much as pocketmine will allow, I've tested it with a few errors, It can handle just about any crash expect OS related crashes to the script itself but since it's so minuscule there really isn't that much room for error aside from the timer. (Linux Only)Now includes a backup manager! Please read the instructions inside the code to setup this feature! (Remove Paths I have in place and enter yours!) MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR PATHS CORRECTLY! DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE IF YOU DO THIS INCORRECT! Unlikely though! How to setup backups # HOW TO USE BACKUP MANAGER # # 1) PLEASE CREATE A FOLDER CALLED "world-backups", without quotes in a place of your chosing. # # 2) Create on your "world-backups" directory , two folders "world-OLD" and "world-NEW" Capitals DO matter! # # 3) PLEASE FILL IN PTW, PTW IS THE PATH TO YOUR WORLD FOLDER EG: /Pocketmine-MP/worlds/world # # 4) PLEASE FILL IN PTMI, PTMI IS THE PATH TO THE FOLDER CONDTAINING YOUR POCKETMINE start.sh FILE # # 5) PLEASE FILL IN WSD, WSD IS WHERE YOU MADE YOUR "world-backups" FOLDER # # 5) Run the server once until it has finished startup, then quit it twice with the keyboard combo "ctrl+c" # # 6) Should work! So enough talking enjoy today! Smash that like button. http://bit.ly/1jV50jQ (Using bit.ly to keep a count on downloads from certain countries etc etc etc...)
Which only reloads plugins and configurations, without the need for a restart. This restarts the server in the event that it crashes. Sure use ./start.sh but who doesn't like a graphical one?
In your VPS or dedicated server, place this into the same folder as your pocketmine installation. And type without the quotes "bash shw.sh"
It's only meant for a UNIX operating systems that have the bourne again shell (BASH) which is nearly everyone. Not windows, as most people use linux for the server I only wrote it in shell, bash, not batch. I might write it later on for windows.
I am testing this on my main survival server. So say a plugin causes a server crash, will this script restart over and over again or does it only work once then you have to re run bash swh.sh? Please xplain a little as i want to really know more about this! Thanks
Update: Wow this thing actually works and it works very well!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep this updated and supported! Exactly what I need! Thanks so much @iamadpond
No, thank you for making sure that my servers now have so much uptime, at least 99% I keep the console running 24/7 for all my servers on a netbook beside my desk. A lot of times I will wake up and one of my servers is down so I just ./start.sh This script really helps me! Keep it updated, you're awesome!
Dude it's awesome! Been using it for a long time now and it keeps my servers at 99% uptime. Thanks so much.
