mcwrapper

Purpose: mcwrapper is a Minecraft Server wrapper for OSX, Linux and other POSIX-compatible operating systems.
Target user: It is intended for Minecraft server administrators.
Server control: It can start, stop, restart and check the status of a Minecraft server.
Command sending: It sends arbitrary commands to the Minecraft server through a named pipe (FIFO) called command_input.
Backups: Its backup action safely backs up world data by disabling world-data writing, copying and compressing data, then re-enabling writing.
Backup retention: Backups are timestamped, a latest symlink is created, and the default retention is five backups.
Restore: The restore action stops the server if needed, backs up current data, copies the selected backup into the world directory and restarts the server if it was running.
Log reader: The log action tails the Minecraft server log in real time.
Installation: mcwrapper is installable from RubyGems.org with the command gem install mcwrapper.
Minecraft download: The install action downloads the current minecraft_server.jar from Mojang and places it in the configured location.
Configuration: Configuration can be supplied through environment variables or mcwrapper.conf files searched in four documented locations.
License: The software is distributed under the MIT License, which permits use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing and sale subject to the license conditions.
Server installation: The `install` action downloads the current `minecraft_server.jar` from Mojang.
Live logging: The `log` action tails the Minecraft server log in real time.
