Spigot Auto Updater

Trust me you don't want to do that. What happens if it isn't compatible with some of your plugins? Unless you are COMPLETELY vanllia it would be very risky

 

You'd have to do the following in a cron job:

• Run BuildTools
• Stop your server
• Move new spigot jar to existing location
• Start your server

Here's an example in bash:

Code (Bash):

#!/usr/bin/env bash

buildtools_dir="/home/user/buildtools"
buildtools_jar="$buildtools_dir/BuildTools.jar"
server_dir="/home/user/server"
spigot_jar="$server_dir/spigot.jar"

# Run BuildTools
java -jar "$buildtools_jar"

# Stop Server (If you use a screen or a web panel you should probably change this)
pid=`ps -aefw | grep "spigot.jar" | grep -v " grep " | awk '{print $2}'`
while kill $pid > /dev/null 2>&1
      sleep 15
do
    # Killing Process
done

# Just Incase, Kill With Fire
kill -9 $pid > /dev/null 2>&1

# Move New Jar
rm -f "$spigot_jar"
mv "$buildtools_dir/spigot-*-.jar" "$spigot_jar"

# Start Server (If you use a screen or a web panel you should probably change this)
java -jar "$spigot_jar"

 

@CraftedFury That looks like a hard kill to me. Wouldn't you first want to try a soft kill? Then after 10-15 seconds a hard one?

 

I modified the kill command to send a soft kill and wait 15 seconds before trying a soft kill again, then attempting the hard kill.
