Server do not want my commands anymore

Hi,

I have a minecraft server on linux with few plugins from craftbukkit and I have the same bug :

After a while ( seem to be ramdom ) the server just do not accept command any longer from the main terminal (ssh).
I mean all commands including mains commands like : list, stop, ban, say etc...

I can NOT stop safely my server. I MUST KILL the screen to terminate the process, it's result a roll's back because the server wasn't able to save chunks of course.

Any idea ?

 

So you enter stop and it says its an unrecognized command?

 

no even, it says nothing at all, but the server is woking fine ( I can see logs, events on the server etc... ).

 

Your putty sessions isn't showing disconnected by chance, is it?

 

I don't use putty, I'am on ubuntu the a ssh terminal. I use ssh to connect to the remote server, the MCserver isn't hosted on my pc, i'am pretty sure all is working so well, but the server is'nt.

 

Since it is after a while, it really looks like a dropped connection.

 

Yes but it's stay like that even when I reconnect to the remote screen (screen -x mc_server).
And the events and loggs displays well.

I will ask to the minecraftforum.net board, thank you for your quicks answers

 

So you see new events, but can't type anything? How long does your commands work (aka, how long can you keep typing) before all of a sudden you can't anymore? What happens in between those two times?

 

Ive had this happen fairly often, the server continues to run fine, however the console does not respond to commands anymore, simply added blank spaces on pressing enter. Recoonecting to screen session via screen -x continues the problem. Ubuntu Server connected to through putty ssh and through fedora 14 ssh command. Generally stopping the server and restarting it is the only solution to the problem I have found.
