    I have a reload issue where every few reloads my server crashes. I have a plugin that says Reloading in 5s.. 4s.. 3s.. 2s.. 1.. Reload! I was wondering if a plugin was out there that could change the message of a crash to make it say restarting or something.

    Reloading will mess up most of the plugins out there, because handling reloads can be pretty difficult.
    Almost no plugin is designed in a way, so that reloads will be 100% properly handled.
    Especially more complex ones.
    So it's expected that your server will crash at some point.

    My advice is: Never use the /reload command - ever. (If it's not only your development-server. And even then...)
    It's better to restart the server manually or use a restart-script.

    My plugins reload but it was a pain to get them to work properly (luckily you can cycle through online players). But I know that many, many, many, etc... plugins have issues with server reloads (like PVP and arena plugins).

    Thanks for the quick replies. Since it's better to restart do you know of any plugins that can change the restart message? It says Server Closed, and my players don't know to come back.

    This can be done in the bukkit.yml
    Code:
    shutdown-message: Server closed.
