What do you mean by ubuntu processes? Well you'd need java definately if thats the question xD

 

well done, I meant all the other processes that were relevant an were required to run the server

 

Well basically thats it, you just need java to run bukkit. Though some plugins *can* save data to a mySQL Database and its recommended for plugins with excessive data usage like BigBrother or LogBlock, or if you are using several plugins which are capable of using SQL I'd recommend using it too.

Also screen is very good so you don't have to leave the shell window opened all the time but can close it without closing the server and return to it later on. If you want to transfer files (maybe for backups) you'd maybe also need an FTP Server like vsftpd. Also you'd maybe need the sshd if you want to ssh to your server, but thats basically it.

Or do you want to kill all processes you don't need? I would not recommend that until you really know what you are doing / what these processes are doing, since it could cause your system to crash / be unfunctional.

 

thanks man thats very help full

 

if so how do i make it run as a service on ubuntu so i can make the firewall port forward limited to that service
