Minecraft server init script with CraftBukkit plus updating
Posted in computers on June 14th, 2011 by karrthSo I forked a project on github for a Minecraft linux server init script. The original is also a fork from a script that can be found in the Minecraft Wiki.
The biggest change in my version was the reintegration of the update function from the original script, along with expanding it to check for CraftBukkit updates. Using this script to run my Minecraft server in RAM has been really nice, and it has made scheduling regular backups a breeze with cron jobs.
