ShutdownNotice

Description

Start a timer and notify your online users before shutting the server down. The notice repeats so often until the task is cancelled or til the timer hits 0 at which the server will automatically shutdown. Simply use this plugin instead of /stop to shutdown your server and the plugin will take care of the rest.

There is auto-restart support when using a compatible startup script (examples provided below). When you start the server using a compatible restart script the server will auto restart when using the /restart or /reboot aliased commands.

The server list ping motd can also optionally be overridden to display any shutdown notifications.

Everything is configurable, from the broadcast messages, to the notice times, to the pre-shutdown commands to automatically perform.

Enjoy! ^_^

Sorry about the funky recording. :S

#!/bin/sh

    java -Xmx4096M -Xms1024M -jar spigot-1.8.3.jar -o true
    if [ -f plugins/ShutdownNotice/restart ]; then
        RELOAD=true
        echo "Restarting server in 5 seconds..."
        sleep 5
    fi
done

For Windows (start.bat) untested:

@echo off
:start
java -Xmx4096M -Xms1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -jar spigot-1.8.3.jar -o true
if exists plugins\ShutdownNotice\restart (
    echo "Restarting server in 5 seconds..."
    timeout /t 5 /nobreak > NUL
    goto start
)
pause

As you can see, the script simply has to check for the "restart" file in the plugin's directory and perform a restart when one is found. Simple.

Todo

  • Add variable broadcast delay (you set how often to send title/chat broadcasts)
  • Implement real time schedules (For example: Restart server every night at midnight. Etc)
