I have a few plugins that apparently control similar commands and I'm just wondering if there is a way to help narrow it down. Something that echoes back to someone issuing a command or to the console like

/plugman /command

and have it echo back which plugin responds to the command

This is a Java bug on windows. You can safely use programs like "Unlocker" for windows to force windows to unlock this file after you unloaded it with plugman.

I have one problem with this plugin, when i unload a plugin then go to the plugin file and try to delete/rename/move it and it says its being used by a program. so it's kinda useless to me. but when i do /plugins in the console it says the plugin has been removed/ or it don't show it at all. the plugin shows no error messages on the console.

I'm running 1.3.1 r1 java jdk7

I don't think I'll be adding any aliases for /plugman - people can do that themselves via the plugin.yml :P Still not sure about the plugins though.

Hi Ryan,

You mentioned that a command alias would be coming in 1.7.3, what about configurable aliases for plugins as well?

Rather than typing the entire plugin name for frequently-updated plugins, a short, configurable alias would save tons of time.

/plugman unload GriefPrevention vs /pm unload gp

Perhaps a section in the config where users can list a plugin's exact spelling, and its associated alias.

I opened a ticket for this as well.

Thanks for all your hard work!

My favourite plugin, has saved me many hours of stressful restarts when adding, removing, updating, or changing the settings for plugins. Only had one crash when using it, and that was when I first installed nolagg while the server was running. Keep up the good work, don't know how I'd survive without PlugMan!! :D

Should work great with 1.3.1 - no changes should be made with Bukkit that touch this plugin.

Just curious as to if this works with 1.3.1, or if it will have to be updated. No rush, it is jut a necessary on my server. (We add and remove plugins/enable and disable others, A Lot.)

Enable and disable run the plugins built in onEnable and onDisable methods, this is useful for refreshing configs and the like. Load takes a jar that is in your plugins folder, loads it and enables it, whereas unload attempts to "remove" the plugin from the server, disabling it and unregistering it.

The reload really should be removed from Bukkit as it is terrible and simply creates a new instance of each plugin. That being said, my reload command works completely differently. It simple disables and re-enables the plugin, saving and updating the config files if the plugin that is being reloaded is made properly. A config option of aliases will be included in 1.7.3!

@Unpluggeddk

I can't seem to re-produce this bug at all. I have tried several different plugins, but all of them work.

(Could not edit my last post)

Add multiple commands like /plgman or /pm

Does the reload command work properly? Because the bukkit one /reload, (like most of the developers say) should be removed.
