[INACTIVE][ADMIN/MECH/GEN] RestartNow v0.3_2 - Full server restarts [818 - 1060]

RestartNow - Complete Restarts:
Version: v0.3_2

When i first joined bukkit, I was very surprised by the fact that there was no way to restart the server. Yes, there are toolkits and modified .bat's or .sh's, but why isn't there just a plugin? That's what this is for.


Features:

• Full Server Restarts.
• Compatible with any OS!
• Compatible with any startup script.
• Automatic restarts every x minute(s)!
• Restart the server when there are no players on the server!
• Reload the server when there are no players on the server!
• Permissions/Group Manager support
• Commands include:
  • /restart -- restarts the server
  • /schedulerestart <time + time unit> -- cancels all planned restarts and schedules the server to be restart in <time + time unit>
  • /resettimers -- cancels every planned restart
  • /kickall -- kicks everyone from the server, including yourself if its not from the console
  • /saveworlds -- saves all worlds
  • /reloadplugin <plugin> -- reload plugin X
  • /restartnow <update> -- displays general information and updates the server

To Do

• Wrapper -- High
  

Known Bugs

• After a restart linux users can't see the gui(it's still running!)
• Does not work with MCMA(use its /restart command, not fixable by me)
• /restartnow update does not download 0.3_1, please manually update till i get back
• Update times are slightly screwed up (sorry :/) Will be fixed ASAP
• You can't have a space from C:/(or your default drive) to craftbukkit.jar. A fix will be out soon
• Configuration options still give an error when the config is setup wrong...

LINUX BUG
In linux if you restart the server, there will be NO console gui to type commands into. The server is still running, there is just no GUI. I can make it a simple light weight wrapper, comment on if you would rather have a console gui or a wrapper!

• Code:

  Config File
                                 
                                 The .sh or .bat you use to start the server
                                 
                                 What happened when you did the steps above with a command line?
                                 

 

Using windows, a bit confused a bit. You say if the title of the CMD isn't MC I have done something wrong. But the only place were you mention MC is in the bat you provided but that only tells it to kill the window title MC.

So how exactly do we go about naming the cmd prompt to MC for the title?

 

The .bat you use to start the server must have title MC on the first line

 

Also, I just switched to your new version, again using windows. It likes to just keep on restarting the server over and over in the same cmd prompt. Did nothing different than last time I installed it. In fact I used the old version up to about 30 minutes ago and that was working fine.

Edit: Thanks for the response for about to change the title it wasn't mentioned in your how to install.

 

Thanks for the update i will test it tomorrow. Without a gui is no problehm for me because the terminal of bukkit is often freezd or buggy.

 

Make sure you add letter after config?

 

EDIT: -shurg- nvm it just started working out of no where.

RERE edit:"No-Players-Reload=true" if this is false it won't make the server keep rebooting over and over.

 

so no-player-reload is bugged? ok, thank you
0.2 is out!
check the changelog for features!

updated op. next up is pictures

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

 

hehe np..I guess I just won't have a reload function until it gets fixed

 

thats extremely weird. i didn't think it would be bugged! i'll look

Are you *positive* that its the reloads fault? What are the symptoms? Does it *restart* or *reload* ?

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

 

This is what happens exactly sorry for me being so vague before.

I start the server using the "windowsonly.bat" Which runs "run.Bat". Now the last version you had would work just as intended would restart when it was supposed to. But as it currently stands with default config, it will keep RELOADING. so this is what it looks like

As you can see it just wants to keep running it over and over. BUT if I take "No-Players-Reload=true" and set it to "No-Players-Reload=false" The plugin will run as intended and flawlessly

Here is my config(this was generated by the plugin as I thought maybe the one that was there to begin with was bugged)

Code:

#RestartNow Config
#Mon Jun 13 16:14:16 EDT 2011
Wait-Before-Start=30 s
Notify-Ten-Minutes=true
Craftbukkit-Launcher=run.bat
No-Players-Reload-Time=10 m
Notify-Five-Minutes=true
Notify-One-Minute=true
Notify-Thirty-Minutes=true
No-Player-Time=15 m
Automatic-Restarts-Time=2 h
No-Players-Reload=true
OS-Name=Windows
Automatic-Restarts=true
Notify-Fifteen-Minutes=true
No-Players-Restart=true

Granted I didn't know how to set the title of the CMD window prior (wish you would point that out for some people who do not know how to do it) this is happening both prior and after that.

 

Pleas make one beacause there is no way to restart the server fast , i have to stop it ingame and start it in tekbase :/

 

i could make it optional! maybe

Ok, give me a couple minutes and i'll checkout the source. i don't see the error, but you never know

updated the op. can't believe i forgot that!

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

 

What did you forget ?

 

the title MC thing

 

Eh Now I cant start my server Oo it just keeps restarting when I put the restartNow jar in my plugins folder, just restarts and I can't log on the server, I check so everything is ok in the config


#RestartNow Config
#Mon Jun 13 16:14:16 EDT 2011
Wait-Before-Start=1 s
Notify-Ten-Minutes=true
Craftbukkit-Launcher=run.bat
No-Players-Reload-Time=10 m
Notify-Five-Minutes=true
Notify-One-Minute=true
Notify-Thirty-Minutes=true
No-Player-Time=15 m
Automatic-Restarts-Time=3 h
No-Players-Reload=true
OS-Name=Windows
Automatic-Restarts=true
Notify-Fifteen-Minutes=true
No-Players-Restart=true

 

No-Players-Reload=false
No-Players-Restart=false

Setting those to false should fix it.

Also is it suppose to leave the command prompt open when it restarts the server? I mean it stop the server and opens up a new command prompt. Not terrible problem, but hate to come back to 30 command prompts if I leave the server on all day.

 

On your DEFAULT .Bat file (not the one from restartnow) at the very top enter in "title MC".

Code:

title MC
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-860.jar
PAUSE

As long as you didn't change anything in the other .BAT that came with the plugin besides the <bat name> it will now close the window when it restarts.

 

Woah... Yes my request is up thanks thanks..

I have 2 more request if you can..

put Auto-Reload or Restart= once? or twice?
//Auto reload/restart the server once or twice or thrice etc..
and Auto-Reload-Time= x h?
//Reload the server in x time

Thanks for the reload w/o player

 

Would putting screen inside your shell script not fix this?
So

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen java -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

 

I do have title MC on the first line. It doesn't close out.

 

-shurg- at that point idk, I guess go over all the steps he mentioned before and retrace your steps. But the whole MC thing is what was making mine not close but now it does.

 

I dont think my brohoster server has a run.bat

 

So no player reload is bugged, is no player restart bugged?
@bill45 make sure you replace <bat name> in windowsonly.bat with the .bat name you use to start the server,
E.x. Run.bat

I can do the second, but i dont understand the first one...

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

 

the first one is let say i want to reload the server only once in x time..

 

so you mean at like 5:55 PM or something like that?

 

oh sorry.. uh elapsed time

 

Yes, those might be bugged, for some reason if you start the server with those on true it totally ignores those times for it to wait before restart. Anyway yes everything is renamed as it should be. It is possible it might not work with my .bat. Mine has different code than usual because my craftbukkit has no META-INF folder in it. So, my .bat has different code than the usual so it can start craftbukkit with no META-INF folder.

Random person with a question:Why do you have no META-INF folder in your craftbukkit.jar? That is just crazy!!

bill45:Because it was needed to be removed to add itemcraft with mo'creatures.

Now, I may have put only part of the code needed in my .bat but it runs my server so I couldn't complain.

Code:

title MC
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -cp ItemCraft.jar;craftbukkit.jar org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main

And yes, this is all the code in my .bat.

 

well, from what i see, it should be fine... Interesting! I'll look into a hotfix

I still don't get it

To everyone else:
I just found the bug, i will put up a hotfix in a second

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

 

uh.. I want to auto reload my server once after 2 seconds whenever I open my server..

 

ok... i'll add that i guess
