[MAC] So i was gonna try and play ftb monster with a friend of mine but i ran into some issues when trying to start up a ftb monster server. I downloaded the monster server from the ftb site and made a folder "FTB Server". Then inside the folder, i extracted all the files from the zip, after that i had to go into terminal to start the server using ServerStart.sh. So i went into terminal typing "cd ~/Desktop/FTB Server" then i dragged the "ServerStart.sh", the server started up in terminal but, other then countless other videos I've seen of server start ups, the server console window does not pop up like it should. The only thing that shows up on my dock is "cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.ServerLaunchWrapper" and the terminal file just hangs on "Loading NEI". Please help, i just want to play with my friends :/

In the directory you will find a ServerStart.bat, make sure it's. Go the same directory as the server.jar and double click it. Should work then.
Wait double click the file serverstart.bat? I did that and nothing happened so i looked it up and it says mac users need to use the serverstart.sh file because bat wasn't compatible with mac?
As a mac user I can tell you both .sh and .bat can work. post the contents of your serverstart.sh and where its located, and where your server.jar is and its name.
Ok my serverstart.sh is in a folder "FTB" on my desktop, the contents are
--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xms4G -Xmx4G -jar ftbserver.jar
--------------------------
my jar file is in the same folder "FTB" on desktop named "ftbserver.jar"
I found out why the console wouldn't open, at the end of contents there was something called "nogui" i took that away and the console finally opened. BUT :/ i tried running startserver and after a couple of minutes the console freezes at aroma1997helper (screenshot below) and doesn't respond after that. I tried multiple times and each time with the same end result: the memory use is 216mb and freezes. I also have my logs (http://pastebin.com/ukmKntpK) which always ends with
"2014-07-11 17:21:12 [INFO] [gendustry] TE(CoFHCore) Version: CoFHCore 2.0.0.5"
Please help :/

:/ when i was in my launcher this morning i saw the warning about java 6 needing to be 7 to run some modpacks so i clicked it and it brought me to the newest version of java. I downloaded that so how can the console still be running java 6? I just verified i had java 7 update 55 so how can i make the console run java 7?Its trying to Start with Java 6. You need 7 v55 or up

Make sure you have java7 then try again and post those logs again, id say with that CPU give it a good 5-10 min to boot. also add the flag -server to the startup arguments, it will slow boot time but perform better after it starts.
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
exec java -Xms4G -Xmx4G -server -jar ftbserver.jar
like that?
i put in -server into the startup argument and now the memory use went faster then normal now but after 2 minutes it froze again at 241 mb with nothing changed about the process it was busy with (still aroma1997helper)
this is the link to the log:

You never updated to java7, it's failing because you have java6, make sure you use a guide specifically on how to update java for a Mac, it's a bit different then windows.
I have updated to 7 even my java control panel shows my mac is using java 7 (screenshot attached), i dont understand why the console wont..
But i wanted to see if i got any problems with other modpacks so i tried unleashed; it makes the server but then it freezes for some reason :/. When i tried DivineRPG i successfully made a server but then when trying direwolf 20, the console just freezes after a couple minutes; heres the log: http://pastebin.com/BqgCu6dR

Ok after trying 1.6.4, i tried direwolf 1.5.2 and here i got the console stopped but now it says java.langOutOfMemory and that it stopped the server even though my console had 96% free memory, here is a log of the 1.5.2: http://pastebin.com/veUutGGL
