Crash Restarter
Does your server crash randomly and unexpectedly? Use this plugin to Detect if your server has Crashed!
This plugin will restart your server within 1 minute of it crashing.
My server would crash every couple of hours, and if I/an Admin wasn't online it would stay down for multiple hours. So i decide to write this plugin.
V2.0+
NEW WAY OF DETECTION!
This version gets rid of the old code of it being based on player interactions etc. I've been searching and testing for a very long time I've finally figured it out! It can be done!
How it now works
When your server crashes, it stops all plugins(even the old version of this plugin). But after a long hard struggle to find a way, I have finally figured it out! When the server crashes the main part of this plugin stops working, which stops triggering the external part of the plugin, which in turn detects within 1 minute whether the main part of the plugin is working, and if it doesn't it runs the command set in config.
Note:
You will need to edit your launch.bat to the following:
:start java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar goto start
Where 1024M is the amount of memory you use.
For BukkitGUI users
For MultiCraft users
Ask your hosting company for your server to restart as soon as it stops.
Example
Example crash
Note: Example was done with a 3 minute detection, I lowered it to 1 minute.
Config
Commands
/cr : Tells the sender if the plugin is running.
Compatability
V2.0 is compatible with all minecraft versions(tested back to 1.2.5).
Metrics
Crash Restarter V2.0 uses Hidendra's plugin metrics system.
Metrics record and sends:
- The server's Java version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The amount of CPU cores
- Server Location
- Game Version
- Server Software
If you wish to disable Metrics, you can do so by opt-ing out, which you can do in the Metrics config file under /plugins/PluginMetrics/
To Do
Tell me, and ill see what i can do.
Check out my other plugins for great features!
Can we expect a new update for crash restarter ?
@BoomLikeADuck
When i ran a server ages ago which used multicraft i asked their support for the server to automatically start once it stopped. Which meant this plugin could work :)
I'm confused does it work when you're using a hosting service if so then why does it say "Ask your hosting company for your server to restart as soon as it stops." if the plugin restarts it as soon as it stops?
Hey, can you do for Cauldron ? And on a .jar please my hostinger doesn't accept .bat :'( Thanks
NB: I'm french escuse-me for my language.
If your running BungeeCord Dont even put the -o false
@GamingPuppy
What operating system are you using?

This is what my start file looks like; where should I edit it? this is for 1.7.9.
java -Xmx4096M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true PAUSE
The PAUSE is on the second line

I have not used MCPC+, this should detect the crashes and if the server loops it will start up again after this plugin forces the server to shutdown.
Thanks,
Dablakbandit
Does it work with MCPC+?
@RCKing57
I have never used BukkitGui sorry, the reference I made above was only because people were having trouble with the fact it would detect the crash yes, but then wouldn't startup. Maybe contact the developer that made it and ask?
Thanks,

If I have BukkitGui and I did what the video said (starting the server if it stopped), how do I stop the server for real? (Like closing it) Thank you

@digimbyte
I will write up a quick fix for this as soon as I have some spare time, and make the command editable in config.
Thanks, Dablakbandit
Well, I tried Disabling the /cr command, I even renamed it to CRASH in the plugin.yml but it didn't work
/CR conflicts with CommandRank which is a powerful ranking system that the users need to use if they wish to check their ontime or kills, its also a command admins/staff use.
at the moment, that command is stolen by CrashRestart since we moved to it from AutoSaveWorld which was unstable for our custom server.
We're using MCPC+ for 1.5.2 Hexxit.
its a great little plugin but this simple command is too simple and conflicts easily
1000 Downloads!, Thanks everyone for downloading.

They cant do that unfortunately since it's shared hosting.... Does it work without the startup script?
@HaltsLongBow
If you own the Multicraft you can edit the start up command but if you don't own it just submit a ticket asking your host if they could add it for your server :)
Would this work if you have shared hosting since I use multicraft and you can't change the startup script on it.
It has been fixed in the latest version.
Thanks,
