About Universal Start Script

From SpigotMC

It's just a start script...

Fully open source so you can contribute and help make it better.

So what does it do?
It's just a script that starts your server... with some additional features:
Auto restart on crash (server must fully crash, disable restart-on-crash in spigot.yml!)
Auto update (.jar only)
Already optimized startup options
More to come?

Tested under Debian 9.0 running Oracle Java 8.
I recommend running it inside a screen.

Really not much more to say...​
