# Minecraft Server Manager
|
|
|
|
A single init script which makes running multiple Minecraft/Bukkit servers easier for us admins.
|
|
|
|
See the [installation page][wiki-install] to get started, or [visit the wiki][wiki] for the full list of resources.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
As well as starting, stopping and restarting MSM has the following 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.
|
|
* Periodically makes [WorldEdit snapshot][we-snapshot] compatible backups of your worlds.
|
|
* Backup the entire server directory for complete protection.
|
|
* Load world's into RAM for faster access (reduces lag).
|
|
* Easily configurable global defaults, with per server overrides if needed.
|
|
* Apply server commands to one, multiple, or all servers in one go (useful for whitelisting a player on all servers.)
|
|
* Tab completion for all commands, makes everything faster and getting started a breeze.
|
|
* Keep server logs organsied by periodically "rolling" them.
|
|
* Organises jar files into groups (such as minecraft and craftbukkit) and links each server to a single jar. Includes automated download of new versions.
|
|
* Plethora of in-game commands (whitelist, blacklist, operator, gamemode, kick, say, time, toggledownfall, save)
|
|
* Send commands straight to the server via the command line.
|
|
|
|
## Upcomming features
|
|
|
|
* **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 in-game time.
|
|
* **Restore:** Roll-back to an old world or whole server backup automatically.
