Hello, For a few versions of CraftBukkit I have the issue that during my scheduled reboot (which just stops the server, waits 30 seconds, and then starts it again), my server keeps hanging on the shutdown. The last lines before hanging are this: 2012-11-16 18:10:11 [INFO] Saving players 2012-11-16 18:10:11 [WARNING] DSCT: Socket closed 2012-11-16 18:10:11 [INFO] Closing listening thread The console does not respond to anything, I have to kill java in order for it to shut down. Any idea what the cause might be? Currently running: WorldEdit/Guard, WorldBorder, Vault, Votifier, uHome, Stargate, ReportRTS, PermissionsEx, Nocheat+, Mv-Core, Mv-Inventories, LogBlock, Jail, iConomy, Herochat, Factions, Essentials, Dynmap, Duties, Chestshop, Cashflow. Latest version of Craftbukkit dev build. Regards, Nordic
How much time are you giving it? If you have a slow hard drive, it could be taking it a really long time to save all the files.
I have left it like that for about 20 minutes a few times, doesn't do a thing. Sometimes it works right away, sometimes it hangs.
Enable plugin profiling and test the timings on your server: It would also be very nice if you could test without plugins running. What your CB version by the way?
TOP output during hanging: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 25577 root 20 0 10.8g 4.5g 12m S 114.5 29.2 348:34.06 java I have tweaked the java garbage collector some more (the invocation parameters), lets see if that helps.
