Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me create a start up script for my CentOS 6 servers. This is what I have so far

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk

y

yum install screen

y

cd root

mkdir server

cd server

wget *Link to my drop box, are there better alternatives to this*

chmod +x forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-universal.jar

java -Xmx1792M -Xms1792M -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-universal.jar nogui 

Basically I need this because I use the server so that my sister, girlfriend and myself can play. After we are finished playing I download the server directory and destroy the server. I'm using Vultr and they offer startup scripts, I wanted to create one so its quicker to get the server up and running.

Thanks in advance, if you need more information just ask.

PS. Yes I know its bad to install as root user, but as I don't advertise the server and am destroying it I don't see any harm.

if you were using ubuntu,i would be of service lol

What's wrong with your current startup script?

To improve on your current code

yum install screen java-1.7.0-openjdk -y<br>mkdir -p /root/server<br>cd /root/server<br>screen -S minecraftserver -d -m bash -c "wget http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.7.10-10.13.2.1272/forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-installer.jar; java -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-installer.jar --installServer; rm forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-installer.jar; echo eula=true>eula.txt; java -Xmx1792M -Xms1792M -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1272-universal.jar nogui"

JRE6 is old .:. JRE7 (/JDK)
Also a screen session will start detached
If you don't want it to detach, remove the -d argument from the last line

EDIT: Fix screen -s to -S, bash to bash -c
EDIT2: So you actually need to download the installer to get the relevant libraries
And agree the eula

why not just make a snapshot?

I did quickly glance over that, but the quick glace lead me to believe that it didn't back up files rather just there location. I will however look into it again and give it a test trial.

No problem, I've always just preferred CentOS low resource impact.

I have basic knowledge and put what I did know into it so that someone that knew what they were doing could help me out.

Thank you very much for your help, I will try it out shortly.

Edit to my previous code to make it work!
