#Spigot Knob Spigot Knob is a bundle of bash scripts to help run a Spigot Minecraft server.

#Usage To run the scripts, you need to have bash and screen installed. Download the script, and run config to build the config file. Your config file will be in the same directory as Spigot Knob (unless you change where it looks). If there's no config file (like on first run) it gets created and running config will ask if you want to overwrite it, and you probably will.

#Commands start Starts the server in a detached screen named "spigot-server". Use screen to see the server running. You can't have more than one server running at a time (unless you want to modify the script).

stop Sends the stop signal to the server (sends a shutdown message to the players first). The command sleeps for the interval between the message and shutdown signal, so unfortunantly you just have to wait to continue (sorry).

kill Kills the "spigot-server" screen. Not very clean, and might actually make the server an orphan process

restart Restarts the server, by stopping then starting. The normal restart command stops the screen, so I had to improvise.

reload-plugins Reloads the server's plugins and settings.

say Say a message to the players as the server. Used as say "hello world". Your message needs to be in quotes.

save Force saves the world to the disk.

backup Backs up the world (and nether & end), to the directory set in the config file as a .tar.gz. The naming is world-hr-min-dd-mm-yyyy. If directory where the backup is going to go doesn't exist, then it gets created automatically.

backup-server Backs up the directory the server runs in, to the backup directory as a .tar.gz. The name is server-backup-hr-min-dd-mm-yyyy. If the directory doesn't exist then it's created.

screen Attaches the screen the server is running in. If you're unfamiliar with using screen, use C-a C-d to detach it again.

config Runs the config utility. If there's already a file named knob.conf (if you've already ran config there will be) in the directory you're running Spigot Knob in, it will warn you and give you the option to overwrite it. Using ~ as home usually didn't work for me, so use the full path. Things in parentheses are the default values, just pressing enter keeps them that way.

help / ? Shows the basic help info on the commands, and the version.
