ServerRestarter is a highly configurable server restart management plugin. Through this plugin, you can set an infinite amount of messages to display and sounds to play at specific intervals. You can also enable scoreboard display (fully configurable) to inform users continuously about an oncoming restart. The /sr command is provided to trigger a restart manually or update the time until next restart and restart message. Time format in commands and config is 0d0h0m0s0ms (e.g. 3h30m, 5s500ms). Chat color format in commands and config is &code, where code is the color code.
NOTE: /restart command is currently broken, as bukkit/spigot override this command yet do not automate it; use /sr instead. NOTE: A script (listed below) is required for the restart to actually work, otherwise the server will simply shut down as usual.
This is an example configuration file (automatically generated by the plugin).

More readable, alternative script (equivalent to the one above):

Linux:
#!/bin/bash JAVA="java" JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M" SERVER_JAR="server.jar" STATE_FILE="auto_restart" while true do $JAVA $JAVA_OPTS -jar $SERVER_JAR if [ ! -e $STATE_FILE ] then break fi echo "Restarting server in 5 seconds! Kill the process with 'ctrl+c' to prevent it from rebooting or use /stop when the server has rebooted." for i in {5..1} do echo "$i..." sleep 1 done echo "Restarting!" done
Windows: (untested- sorry, not on this OS :( let me know if it works)
@ECHO OFF SET JAVA=java SET JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M SET SERVER_JAR=server.jar SET STATE_FILE=auto_restart :START %JAVA% %JAVA_OPTS% -jar %SERVER_JAR% IF NOT EXIST %STATE_FILE% EXIT ECHO Restarting server in 5 seconds! Close the command prompt to prevent it from rebooting or use /stop when the server has rebooted. FOR /l %X IN (5, -1, 1) DO ( ECHO %X%... TIMEOUT 1 ) GOTO START
Alternative Windows (in case the above script does not work):
@ECHO OFF :START java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar server.jar IF NOT EXIST auto_restart EXIT GOTO START
Change the options in either script as you see fit. These will restart your server if a file named 'auto_restart' is found (configurable), otherwise exit.
