### Command ``` # reload your plugin config(serveralarmclock.reload) /sac reload ``` ## How to Use 1. **Install the Plugin:** - Download the `ServerAlarmClock.jar` file and place it in your BungeeCord plugins folder. 2. **Configure the Flags:** - Open the `config.yml` file located in the `ServerAlarmClock` folder. - Under the `flags` section, specify the paths to the flag files for each of your servers. These flags will be used to trigger the server startup. 3. **Setup the Server Startup Script:** - You need to create or modify your server startup script to include the logic for checking the flag file. The example of a Linux shell script is provided at the end of this passage. 4. **Start the Server:** - Once everything is configured, reload the plugin using /sac reload. The plugin will now monitor server connections and start the target server when a player attempts to join a server that is currently stopped. 5. **Enjoy!**

Example of a Linux shell script

``` #!/bin/bash # Server directory SERVER_DIR="your/server/path" # Path to the flag file FLAG_FILE="your/flag/file/path/example.flag" # Change to the server directory cd "$SERVER_DIR" || { echo "Failed to change directory to $SERVER_DIR"; exit 1; } while true do # Check if the flag file exists if [ -f "$FLAG_FILE" ]; then echo "Minecraft Server is Starting" # Start the server java -jar server.jar # Remove the flag file rm -f "$FLAG_FILE" echo "Minecraft Server has Stopped" else sleep 1 fi done ```

Example of a Windows bat script(generate by gpt)

``` @echo off REM Server directory set SERVER_DIR=your\server\path REM Path to the flag file set FLAG_FILE=your\flag\file\path\example.flag REM Change to the server directory cd /d "%SERVER_DIR%" if %errorlevel% neq 0 ( echo Failed to change directory to %SERVER_DIR% exit /b 1 ) :loop REM Check if the flag file exists if exist "%FLAG_FILE%" ( echo Minecraft Server is Starting REM Start the server java -jar server.jar REM Remove the flag file del /f "%FLAG_FILE%" echo Minecraft Server has Stopped ) else ( timeout /t 1 /nobreak >nul ) goto loop ```
