    A server is typically left on indefinitely. If your using your home computer as a "server," then you need to leave your computer on. With bukkit, running the server is as simple as running the script and enjoying.

    I have the same problem, the server times out
    the exact message when i try to connect after awhile is:
    Failed to connect to server
    Connection timed out:connect
    I keep the script for the server open at all times.

    That's the connection attempt timing out not the server. AKA the client cannot connect to the server.

    Just so you know there are reasons why the server will just shutdown. Some people in the community in the bukkit tools section have written wonderful tools (and there are plugins too) that will keep your server running 24/7 by auto-restarting and scheduling restarts (as well as backing up your server).

    Wonderful thing this bukkit community...

    There is no reason bukkit needs to be "auto-restarted," backing up is a always good thing, but otherwise your post justs adds to the vague confusion of this thread.

    The real question is: How does "TheLonelyOnion" have his server setup?

    What do you mean by setup? like the layout of the whole system or something else?

    where is that plugin located good sir?

    What kind of computer is bukkit on? Is is a personal computer? Is it hosted somewhere? OS?

    @wolfen -- Just don't close your laptop xD

    @TheLonelyOnion -- Of course! Just leave your computer running at all times, that's what I do :D

    You guys need to find your power settings and make sure it doesn't go to sleep/suspend.

    But I'm not sure, you guys are being very vague about what the problem is. You can leave the server running constantly.

    Hey, I have a compltely different problem, but fits well to the title of this post. My server seems to have reloading issues.. mainly, it comes across something called "PermGen". To be more specific, I reload the server, it runs through fairly smoothly, and then WHAM! It gets all sad and spams -plugin no worky worky blah blah blah PermGen error- or something along those lines!
    (I can't actually post my CMD here... I'm on vacation)
