About EmptyServerStopper

From SpigotMC

Shutdown your server when there is no one arround.

Latest versions are available on github :
https://github.com/vincss/mcEmptyServerStopper/releases

This plugin will stop your server after a defined time when the last player leaved.

To wait until someone reconnects :

What it does :
  1. Wait for the last player to leave. Trigger at X minutes timers.
  2. After the X minutes, check if no one is connected.
    1. No one is connected: shutdown the server.
    2. Someone is connected: cancel the timer.
Install the plugin by putting the .jar file in the plugins/ directory of your server

The delay before service shutdown is configurable in : plugins/EmptyServerStopper/config.yml

(Then it can restart using MCSignOnDoor.)
