About MCServers - Linux MC Server Management Service Script
From SpigotMCLinux Service Script to Start, Stop, Update, and View console of MC Servers easily and Automatic!
The script originated from the year4000 script made by @ewizid.
https://github.com/Year4000/StartScript
However, with the current version of year4000 listed on their github, if your linux server has updated and made changes to start, restart, or status service commands, the script is nearly useless.
"service year4000 stop" would result in the linux server stopping the whole script and all servers. You couldn't tell it to stop just one server
With MCServers, I've fixed it, though with an additional command.
"service mcservers server stop 2/all" results in the server with the ID Number 2 to be stopped, or the choice of all, with visual information and countdown on screen and on the server announcement in sync.
Script should work on ALL versions of Minecraft.
Either that be the vanilla, snapshot, spigot, and maybe sponge and forge. Not heavily dependent on Minecraft versions.
Commands:
>>> All commands are ran from linux terminal as sudo! No console or ingame use! <<<
If you wish to run these commands from ingame, I suggest looking at wget plugin!
- Server/Servers +
- Start ID#/All
- Start server ID or All servers. Ignores all servers that are already started or Enabled=false in servers.cfg. Requires # or All to run.
- If the linux server is booting up, it will start all servers that are enabled. Same as though you've done "service mcservers server start all"
- Example: service mcservers server start all
- OVERRIDE
- Will start any server, of choice or with all, with the SERVER_ENABLE=manual.
- Servers with the manual variable will not auto-start, such as during a computer/system startup, but will start by command as long as OVERRIDE is listed at the end.
- Note: Must Be Capitalized.
- Example: service mcservers server start 3 OVERRIDE
- Stop ID#/All
- Stop server ID or All servers. Countdown on screen and on the server, then server shutdown. Requires # or All to run.
- If the linux server is shutting down, it will stop all servers. Same as though you've don "service mcservers server stop all"
- Example: service mcservers server stop all
- Restart ID#/All
- Restarts server ID or All servers. Stops the server as shown above, followed by a few seconds before Starting. Startup ignores servers with Enabled-false. Requires # or All to run.
- Example: service mcservers server restart all
- Status (ID#)
- Shows the online/offline/disabled status of all servers. ID# can be stated for info on one server, but not needed.
- Example: service mcservers server status
- Update +
- Spigot/Minecraft/Snapshot/Bungeecord/All +
- If a URL for the specified update is set to "none," the update for related file(s) will be skipped.
- Example: service mcservers update minecraft
- Y/N
- While updating anything, if you are wanting the update quick, or automated, adding "y" after what you want to update will skip the question. In turn, if you say "n" the update is skipped.
- Example: service mcservers update Spigot/All y
- Clean
- While updating Spigot, only Spigot, setting the last variable to "clean" will delete all buildtools files, download buildtools, and run it. Starting fresh. Useful if having build issues.
- Example 1: service mcservers update Spigot/All clean
- Example 2: service mcservers update Spigot/All y clean
- Screen ID# +
- View the console/screen of choice server.
- Example: service mcservers screen 0
- Send
- Any number of variables/words to send to select screen.
- Example: service mcservers screen 0 send tell console this is a message from console, to console.
- Kill
- Kills select screen ID#
- Example: service mcservers screen 0 kill
- Edit/View FILE-OPTION ID#
- View/Edit the Servers.cfg, as well as Server.Properties, Bukkit.yml, Spigot.yml, commands.yml, or log of choice server ID#. Can also be used to edit template versions.
- Example: service mcservers edit server.properties 0
- Create FILE-OPTION
