Minecraft Server Manager

A single init script which makes running multiple Minecraft/Bukkit servers easier for us admins.

Visit the Wiki for detailed guides.

Features

• One script handles multiple servers, run two or more servers on one machine.
• Can create and start new servers with a single command, downloads the jars for you.
• Start, stop and restart your servers.
• Periodically makes WorldEdit snapshot compatible backups of your worlds.
• Backup the entire server folder for complete protection.
• Load world's into RAM for faster access (reduces lag).
• Easily configurable, through a single file
• Per server configuration of invocation, in-game messages and timings.
• Apply server commands to one, multiple, or all servers in one go (useful for whitelisting a player on all servers.)

Upcomming features

• Restore: Roll-back to an old world or whole server backup automatically.
• QuickBackup: If you store your backups non-locally (maybe on a NAS), QuickBackup optionally creates a backup locally for speed, and then moves it after your players are building again! My initial testing shows a 54 second network backup confaltes to 23 seconds of ingame time.
