# Running a Minecraft server in the background
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program runs a script (which can be specified) in a subprocess with redirected output
|
||
|
|
(new output location can be specified) and periodically checks a file for a keyword (both
|
||
|
|
the name of the file to check and the keyword to check for can be specified)
|
||
|
|
and exits (stopping the subprocess via sending a command), if the contents of the file
|
||
|
|
include the keyword.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You probably want to run this script in background, e.g. calling it via './run.py &'
|
||
|
|
or via 'nohup ./run.py &'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A sample invocation could look like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nohup ./run.py &
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Now the specified script, e.g. a Minecraft server, is running in the background.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
echo stop > command.txt
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
After a short delay, the script in the background will be stopped.
