Server was behaving strangely

[Jimer Lins]

I couldn't get the server to send chat commands, but it seemed to be working otherwise. I inadvertently hit CTRL-C and disconnected everyone from the server. I restarted right away. Sorry about the brief downtime.

Hey Jimer.

Server is behaving strangely at the moment. Probably hung.
Wonder if you could give it a zap or two....

Thanks in advance

Looking into it now. Need to pull some backups and delete some old data. Give me just a bit to get it taken care of!

[Jimer Lins]

OK, server's been restarted and the backups folder swamped out. I think we were running a little short on disk space.

Ya'll have been busy, I noted. Cool new buildings. I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, there's been a lot going on in my personal life that I have to deal with.

[Maizan]

Running better. Although I think I might have to do a villager culling. Had population explosion a few weeks back when the village linked with the iron farm.

I think I last left myself out wandering in the middle of nowhere, I picked up the star wars humble bundle and started getting caught up on a lot of games I missed out on.

Hey Jimer. When is payment due? And how much is it for increased space?

[Jimer Lins]

The payment's usually around the first week of the month. The current plan is a 2-CPU server with 2GB RAM and 40GB disk space. We're fine on disk space; I just let the backups pile up until there was only about 3 or 4 left, which I will not allow to happen again.

The plans we have available to us:

$15.00/month: 2 CPU/2GB RAM/40GB disk space/3GB network
$35.00/month: 2 CPU/4GB RAM/65GB disk space/4GB network
$70.00/month: 4 CPU/8GB RAM/120GB disk space/5GB network
$125.00/month: 4 CPU/16GB RAM/250GB disk space/8GB network

Obviously the top two are totally overkill. If we wanted more RAM (which is usually the minecraft bottleneck) the best option is the $35 per month one, but that more than doubles our current outlay.

Can you IM me your email address. I will PayPal you some cash. If nobody objects I vote for the upgrade to level 2.

[Jimer Lins]

My paypal address is cyclometh at gmail.com. If we do wish to upgrade I'll need a day or so to manage the transfer; I'll have to set up the new box and make sure it's working.

[Maizan]

The package is away! I will leave the upgrade choice to you. If you think it is a good idea, then do it. If not, then do not.

Thank you,
Maizan

Jimer. Would it be possible to get a server reboot. My villagers seem no longer interested in farming/planing crops and am hoping a server reboot would fix that.

I went ahead and restarted it. It automatically restarts every night, by the way.

[Maizan]

Thank you. That's what I had thought. I was not sure. I will check it out. I hope it is not a broken mechanic on the last update. They have stopped farming and breeding for a week or two now.
