[ADMN] AutoStop v0.53 - Auto Stop & Restart Your Server [650-803]

Server AutoStop
Time-Based Scheduled Server Shutdowns and Restarts

(Maintenance Release Edition)

NOTE: May not be working properly in CraftBukkit RB 928 with Permissions 3.


Credit: AutoStop is a plugin originally written by @dv90 and last updated by @Afforess.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO THEM. I have done nothing, other than make the plugin visible again.

The Following Is Modified From the Original Thread:

I. Requirements: Permissions 2.7+ (Optional)

II. Description: A simple plugin that saves player and chunk data then shuts the server down at a specified time. Great for clearing memory leaks and updating plugins automatically.

III. Features:

• Works with Windows AND Linux AND Mac
• Saves Player Data and Chunk Data before stopping the server
• Gives a custom warning at specified time before shutting down
• Quickly shuts server down
• Uses autostop.properties to specify what time (24-hour clock) it should shutdown
• Automatically creates the properties file if it doesn't exist
• Automatically restarts server (if you enable it)
• Multiple restart times possible

IV. Installation:

1. Download the AutoStop.jar listed below and put it in your plugins folder.
2. Start and Stop the server once to create the Server AutoStop folder and config file.
3. Edit the config file to suit your needs. See the example below.

V. Special Notes:

• The plugin will automatically put AutoRestart.jar in your bukkit directory.
  • Don't run it; it won't do anything.
  • Do not delete or move it.
• If your server doesn't auto restart, post your restart_log.txt here.
  • If there is no restart_log.txt, you're doing it wrong.
• If you use a .bat file (server_nogui.bat), set your path to: path=start server_nogui.bat
• ANYBODY USING AN EXTERNAL SERVER (Such as a VPS):
  • Remember, your server's timezone may be different. Take that into account when setting up your autostop.properties.

VI. Commands:

• /reboot - Immediately saves data and restarts the server.
• /restart - Same as reboot.

VII. Permissions:

• Node: autostop.use
• Don't use the Permissions Plugin? Just OP yourself.

IIX. Properties File Example:

Note: It appears there are duplicate properties files created. One in /plugins/AutoStop/and another in /plugins/ServerAutoStop/. Be sure to set your parameters in BOTH FILES.

Code:

stoptime=12:00:00 12:05:00 12:10:00
# Use 24-hour time. Separate times with a space. [Hour:Minute:Second]
warntime=0:10 0:30 1:00 5:00 15:00
# Displays warning this many min:sec before shutting down. Separate with space. [Minutes:Seconds]
warnmsg=Shutting down...
# Warning message to display.
enablerestart=true
# Enables automatic server restarts. If this is true, path must not be blank.
path=java -jar craftbukkit.jar
# Path to server file (including any arguments). This can also be a command if you are using crontab/screen/etc.
# Linux screen example:
# path=screen -dmS MinecraftServer java -jar craftbukkit.jar

IX. Current Release:

Try adding a delay to your launch bat. Read through the thread to see examples.

Download link for dropbox works fine for me.
Also still functioning fine with bukkit 819 on windows

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

Which version?

 

3.1.4

Code:

Works on 818 linux + permissions, but you need to remove screen from you launch file, something like this

Code:

#!/bin/sh
java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar

But then there's the problem, our CPU usage was 114%, when before the restart it was 5%

 

i get alot of jave error "could not pass event player _quit to LWC why is that?

 

Check lwc?

Will assume it has something to do the the permissions addon

Hey there.
I got a little issue.. - I want my server to say Server restarting in 30 seconds and restarting in 30 seconds then.. but it restarts instantly.. any ideas?
Oh and is it possible to change the Server shutting down message in server restarting now...
Thanks

Code:

stoptime=12:00:00 16:00:00 20:00:00
# Use 24-hour time. Separate times with a space. [Hour:Minute:Second]
warntime=30:00
# How many seconds before shutdown/restart to show warning. Separate times with a space.[Seconds]
warnmsg=The Server will restart in 30 seconds...
# Warning message to display.
enablerestart=false
# Enables automatic server restarts. If this is true, path must not be blank.
path=java -jar craftbukkit.jar
# Path to server file (including any arguments). This can also be a command if you are using crontab/screen/etc.

 

Thx for the plugin, my server is now thanks to you, closer to be release.

 

Glad it`s working for you. Some people have been having issues.

 

I really need this plugin but it doesn't start up on Build 928 for me.

Seems like a problem with permissions, maybe it doesn't work with Permissions 3?

 

You might want to look into using Remote Tool Kit for restarts

 

I did exactly this and it works perfectly.

 

I think I might end support for this plugin since I haven't been able to find a developer to help update it. I haven't updated to 928 on my own server yet, so if this plugin doesn't work there anymore as seems to be the case I will just retire it and switch the remote tool kit myself. I think there is another restart plugin being actively developed as well. So there are good alternatives available now.

 

That's sad, the reason I tried your plugin first was that it looked so much easier to set up. It's for people who just need restarts, not all the other (great) stuff Remote Toolkit has to offer.

 

It's broke. Neighter /restart nor the autorestart works any longer.
How about the message I already asked once? Is it possible to change the "Server shutting down..." to "Restarting server..." ?

Yeah it doesn't work. Try remote toolkit.

 

hmm do you have the sourcecode still around?

 

Nope sorry, looks like it isn't being hosted by afforess on his github page anymore and I don't have a copy handy. I don't think I even have a copy of the jar file in a backup anymore.

 

hmm... ok I think I have the jar still... I will look what I can do ...

 

hi, this plugin is pretty good and im on a mac and when i enabled auto restart, when it restarted it says restarting server... then it just stops. It dosent restart anything lol any help plz?

 

This plugin is no longer supported. I suggest you look for a replacement such as Remote Toolkit.
