[INFO] DONT USE /reload!

I've seen so many people coming on the forums, and screaming out in full on caps lock:

Code:

HELP! MY SERVER HAS A MASSIVE MEMORY LEAK! SOMEONE HELP ME!

And people reply:

Code:

DON'T USE /RELOAD!

This is the problem with /reload. It makes a massive memory leak on your server, and then you'll have a big issue on how to deal with it.
What's the point on reloading anyways? Just restart your server! It'll take <30 seconds anyways. You'll live.

I like that the "lets fix reload" option is completely scrapped before these discussions even begin. XD

 

It Take long time for me to restart the server

 

I use /reload on daily, for about 4 months now.
No problems?

And restarting server would be a pain, unload all plugins and world - kick all players out etc than wait for VPS to
start it again, connect to files, launch plugins, load world ['prepare spawn'] etc.

I have no problems?

 

/reload isn't the problem. Is the hoops plugins have to jump through to properly unload and load back up when /reload is called.

Some plugins handle it better than others, but I always suggest doing a full server restart.
