@ncreen_same: Good point, the server I'm running only runs FTB so that's the only thing that is ever running in screen. I'll poke through and find a way to kill only the screen that has the previous instance of FTB opened in it. @gustav9797 : How are you downloading/running that? According to...

I really love #! http://crunchbang.org/ :D It's Debian based and very low resource usage. (I run it on a laptop with 256MB of RAM... not for minecraft obviously :D ) If you want really low overhead, run it in runlevel 3 for command-line only, then make sure you have an ssh daemon installed for...

I think the wrath igniter only spreads to similar blocks also, so if you torch a piece of sand in the desert, it can spread for a LONG time, but if you torch a little sand pit by a river, it'll only spread a little bit. The problem is that it can also set wooden structures/trees/grass, etc on...

Just updated it and ran it through a few simple tests. It *should* catch freeze-up crashes too now, thanks to rmbell's suggestion to use inotifywait. :D Also, it will run the server in screen now, so you can just attach/detach to/from the screen and still be able to input console commands even...

Oh what a goose I am. This is proof that you can beat your head against the wall for hours trying to find a solution to something and have it be the simplest thing. mtime of the crash file... brilliant. I'll try to incorporate that this weekend. Thanks for showing me the light. :D -edit-...

I wish I knew more Java to be able to help, but source would be welcome. I was working on something similar in bash that I have posted here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/script-linux-auto-start-ftb-server-on-crash-automatic-backups.3594/ It's not working so far though. :/ I need...

Still fighting with this in my free time. :/ Netcat and nmap both seem to respond that the port is open even if the server is frozen. Trying to test to see if there's anything special about how lsof displays the socket if the server's frozen. Here's what it looks like on a healthy server...

Yeah, currently, it only works if the process crashes completely and closes so that it's not in the list of running processes. The daily restart thing might be a good thing to add. :) I think I found a nifty trick to test it though. If anyone has their server freeze up where the process is...

Yeah, it's still a work in progress at the moment. So far I haven't been able to make the server crash except by making it run out of memory by setting a VPS to super-low RAM. I'm going to try some stuff to make it break some more... I'm thinking maybe have it try a telnet connection via the...

This is still a work in progress, but I figured I'd post it early so I could get input or see if something like it already exists: https://github.com/Sindern/rtb It's meant to be placed in the server's folder along with the jar file, then run instead of the normal command to launch the...

Bumping with script update. I'm pretty sure it's gonna work since I think I managed to crash it on my test VPS mucking around with fifo named pipes trying to figure out how to send input directly to the console. https://github.com/Sindern/rtb

I've got FTB running on a Virtual Machine on my home computer and I got some friends on and we were trying like hell to crash the thing. We tried a 10x10x10 room of dynamite and while it made a very pretty hole, it only raised the load temporarily. Next was a massive row of nuclear reactors...
