Restart Command Script

This script can be used to run the server once, i.e. if you configured Auto Restart to not use an external restart script.
You configure "restart_command" as the script with the path, where your start-script is located, i.e "<Path of your Minecraft server>/<Name of your script>.sh"

bash -c 'cd <Path of your Minecraft server>; screen -d -m -S <Name of your Screen, i.e. your folders name without spaces> java -jar forge-<Minecraft version>-<Forge version>.jar'

External Restart Script

These scripts are for the use, if you have configured, that you are using an external restart script.
The first script is named "restart_start.sh". It is used to start the "restart_loop.sh" script in a screen.

bash -c 'cd <Path of your Minecraft server>; screen -d -m -S <Name of your Screen, i.e. your folders name without spaces> ./restart_loop.sh'

The "restart_loop.sh" script has the logic in it, to restart or stop the server. It will restart the server always, except in the "./auto_restart/restart" file is "0".
The Auto Restart Mod writes "-1", "0" or "1" to the file. When the script reads the file,

• "-1" means that server crashed.
• "0" means the server was shutdown with the "/stop" command and should be stopped.
• "1" means the server that the server was stopped with the "/restart" command or an auto restart and should be restarted.

After the server was stopped for a restart, the script waits 5 seconds until it restarts the Minecraft server.
