    My initscript has a "log roll" feature getting called nightly by cron where it stops the server, rotates the log file, then starts the server up again. This has worked fine for over a year but since I updated to the RB (1.6.2-R1.0), the server stays down after rolling the log. I found no errors in the bukkit log or in the system log. When I notice it in the morning, the initscript correctly reports the status as "stopped" (not crashed) and it comes right up when I do "/etc/init.d/minecraft start"
    The server uses Gentoo Linux x64 and vixie-cron.
    This is my initscript:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    # /etc/init.d/minecraft

    Is this the one from github? Maybe it has an update.. Other than that, it looks fine to me. Your craftbukkit file name didn't change either?

    This is derived from one I found on the minecraft wiki which is probably related to the one on github. I copied it years ago and have been doing my own updates to it like adding support for the nether.
    I noticed the restart worked fine last night, but the one that just happened failed again. It might be only failing on nights where the backup is run. Now that I think about it, there was one other thing that changed besides updating to 1.6.2 -- I edited this script to add mysqldump to the 'wholebackup' operation. But the backups are successful and it never gives problems when I run it manually.

    Make sure to check the github. Just to double check.
