Init script for the open-source cuwo Cube World server

A init script that apart from starting and stopping the server correctly also has some extra features for running a Cube World server.

Features

• Backup for worlds
• Server complete backup
• Exclude files and directories from full backup by adding them to "exclude.list"

Requirements

screen, rsync, python

Access server console

screen -x cuwo

Exit the console

Ctrl+A D

Setup

1. Symlink the cuwo file to /etc/init.d/cuwo, set the required premissions and update rc.d.

    sudo ln -s ~/cuwo-init/cuwo /etc/init.d/cuwo
    chmod 755  ~/cuwo-init/cuwo
    sudo update-rc.d cuwo defaults
   

2. Edit the variables in config.example to your needs and rename it to config (leaving it in the same folder as the original minecraft script)

3. Move your worlds to the folder specified by WORLDSTORAGE

4. Edit crontab

   As the server user:

    crontab -e
   

   Add these lines:

    #m 	h 	dom	mon	dow	command
    02 	05 	*	*	*	/etc/init.d/cuwo backup
    55 	04 	*	*	*	/etc/init.d/cuwo log-roll
    */30 	* 	*	*	*	/etc/init.d/cuwo to-disk
