To get an overview of the available options provided by the management script, be sure to have a look at the help page or read the according section on the ArchWiki article [1].

You can quit the console without shutting down the server by press ctrl+a d (first ctrl+a and after releasing the buttons press d; ctrl+b also works). This will detach your input from the server console. The attaching and detaching is done with tmux (previously GNU screen) since it lets you view and type into the console, send single commands to it and keep it alive without a connected user. Take a look at the the command overview at the ArchWiki [2] to get a feel for its power. (@carmelo12341)

Love it! I must say, this is a really clean package. Any faults with needing console access and strange java dependencies are really elegant. The way expect in the "stop" part of the rc.d script is definitely appropriate too since I think all of us have seen some data loss with a Minecraft server. Excellent work!

@Synthead: done in beta_1.8.1-3.

Might be a good idea to say in the .install to Ctrl+\ out of attachtty so people don't accidentally Ctrl+C the server like I did! :)

@zachtib: I will wait for the final beta 1.9 release to update this package since clients are not automatically updated. Feel free to post your own package if you want the latest pre-release.

You should not rely on anything being in "/var/run" after a reboot. See: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/var.html My proposed change (which works on my system where I flush /var/run on reboot): --- minecraft-server-rc.old 2011-09-20 11:13:09.000000000 +0200 +++ minecraft-server-rc 2011-09-20 11:34:51.000000000 +0200 @@ -12,6 +12,10 @@ stat_busy "Starting minecraft-server" if [[ ! -f "$_runDir/server.pid" ]]; then cd "$_srvDir" + if [[ ! -d "$_runDir" ]]; then + mkdir "$_runDir" + chown minecraft:minecraft "$_runDir" + fi su minecraft -c "source /etc/profile && detachtty --dribble-file $_logDir/server_stdout.log --log-file $_logDir/detachtty.log --pid-file $_runDir/server.pid $_runDir/socket /usr/bin/minecraft-server nogui" && add_daemon minecraft-server && stat_done || stat_fail

I prefer using attachtty too since it's a more generic solution.
