A 1.12.2 Fork of “ForgeAutoShutdown” for 1.10.2 (Repository)<\/p>\n
This mod must be installed on both client and server sides. It doesn’t add any commands to SP worlds, but is necessary for localized messages.<\/p>\n
ForgeAutoShutdown is a mod that can:<\/p>\n
* Schedule the server to automatically shut down at a specific time of day, or after X
\nhours and minutes of uptime. This allows the server to be automatically restarted by a
\nshell script, Windows batch file or service.
\n* Allow players to vote for a manual shutdown, so a lagged out server does not require
\nadmin intervention
\n* Shutdown or kill a server that is hung (stalled) or laggy<\/p>\n
# Requirements<\/p>\n
* Minecraft Forge server 1.12.2, running forge 14.23.5.2859
\n* A wrapper script that restarts the server after shutdown (optional, but highly recommended). <\/p>\n
# Features<\/p>\n
*Any of these features may be disabled in the config*<\/p>\n
## Scheduled shutdown
\nForgeAutoShutdown will log a message at the INFO level on server startup, with a date and
\ntime of the next scheduled shutdown. For example:<\/p>\n
`[10:50:09] [Server thread\/INFO] [ForgeAutoShutdown]: Next automatic shutdown: 08:30:00 09-June-2019`<\/p>\n
If this message is missing, the mod has not been correctly installed or the schedule is
\ndisabled in config. If the mod is installed on a Minecraft client, it will log an ERROR to
\nthe console and not perform any function. It will not crash or disable the client.<\/p>\n
### Mode
\nBy default, the shutdown will be scheduled to happen at a specific time of day. This is
\nthe time local to the server and will always happen within the next 24 hours after server
\nstartup. This means that if the server starts and has missed the shutdown time even by a
\nfew minutes, it will schedule for the next day.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, setting `Uptime` to true means the server can shutdown after a specific
\namount of hours or minutes instead. This can allow the server to restart multiple times a
\nday, or after a few days, etc.<\/p>\n
### Warnings
\nBy default a scheduled shutdown will give a warning to all players, each minute for five
\nminutes, after the scheduled time. This can be disabled by setting `Warnings` to `false`.
\nThis means the server will shutdown, without warning, by the scheduled time.<\/p>\n
### Delay
\nIf desired, the shutdown can be delayed by a configurable amount if players are still on
\nthe server. To enable this, set `Delay` to true and adjust `DelayBy` to the amount of
\nminutes to delay.<\/p>\n
The shutdown will be repeatedly delayed until the server is empty. When checking if the
\nserver for players, fake players are excluded. Note that shutdown warnings are ineffective
\nwith delays, and a pending shutdown will be cancelled if a player comes online during the countdown.<\/p>\n
## Voting<\/p>\n
If enabled, players may vote a manual shutdown. To do so, a player must execute
\n`\/shutdown`. Then, **all** players (including the vote initiator) must vote using
\n`\/shutdown yes` or `\/shutdown no`.<\/p>\n
If the amount of `no` votes reach a maximum threshold, the vote fails. If a vote is cast
\nand too many players have disconnected in the meantime, the vote fails. If a vote fails,
\nanother one will not be able to start until a configured amount of minutes has passed.<\/p>\n
If the vote succeeds, the server will instantly shutdown without warning. If an
\nappropriate means of automatic restart is in place, it should be expected that the server
\nwill go up within a few minutes.<\/p>\n
## Watchdog (Experimental)<\/p>\n
If enabled, a watchdog thread can periodically watch the server for unresponsiveness. By
\ndefault, it checks every 10 seconds:<\/p>\n
* Whether the server is hanging (or “stalling”) on a tick
\n* Whether the TPS stays below a certain amount for a certain length of time<\/p>\n
If either problem is detected, the watchdog will try a soft kill (or a hard kill, if
\nconfigured). This makes the server try to save all its data before shutting down. If a
\nsoft kill takes longer than ten seconds, the watchdog will do a hard kill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
