Starting & Stopping Your CraftBukkit Server

Stopping Your Minecraft Server:

1. Login to your server via SSH using a program called PuTTy.

2. Type "screen -x" (This will take you to the MineCraft server process, should your server still be running.)

3. Type "stop" (Also only if your MineCraft server is still running).

4. It should say "Saving chunks" and a few other messages followed by "Screen has terminated" or something along those lines. Then you know it's been done correctly.

Starting Your CraftBukkit Server

1. cd /minecraft/Minecraft/

2. screen -S minecraft java -XmsRAMVALUEm -XmxRAMVALUEm -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui

Note: RAMVALUE is the amount of RAM you want to start your server with and there are limitations depending on which package you have puchased from us.

Important: The Craftbukkit.jar file may be named "craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar", You can just rename that to craftbukkit.jar.
