Auto-detect when server is up

[Br31zh]

Hello,

Do you think it’s possible to auto-detect when the server is up instead or using an static defined timer? By trying to connect to it, or using rcon, for example.

yes it's definitely doable and I have it in my to-do list...

right now we are experiencing some problems (look at the issues ahah) so probably this feature will only be available next month or so...

so i advise you to keep updated with this rep

p.s. if you notice any bug or problem (either with python or go version) please report it ;)

Yeah, I looked on the issues, I understand that you have more important things to do. But with an issue we can keep tracking the progression and see what is already on the way ^^

Thanks for your answer.

PS : I prefer Python for now, and using this version, via a systemd service. It’s the best tool to do auto start and stop I tried so far, good job ^^

If one wants to be extra fancy, it might be possible to save the last startup duration in the config for ServerStartupTime.
Depending on the implementation of the server status check of course. If it checks once every second, then this might be doable, if it is much slower, the practical advantages over a manually set time might be marginal.

Is i though of that too... Sort of tring to predict how much time till the server is up

It could be a quite interesting small feature

With the addition of minecraft server terminal this should be very easy to implement and much more cleaner than the previous solution...

I will try to make it happen today ;)
