Startup-Script with SystemD and Screen wont work

[Chris2509]

Hi, i have a CentOS7 Server with Minecraft. Everytime I start the Server, i want the Minecraft-Server starts automatically.

I read this tutorial https://notebookbft.wordpress.com/2017/ ... os-rhel-7/ and tryed it by myself, but it doesn't work and I dont know why (Im new to Linux ):

Heres my Script, saved in /etc/minecraft/startup.sh
Owener/Usergroup is root, CHMOD rwxr-xr-x (0755)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
screen -A -m -d -S Minecraft114 java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar /etc/minecraft/server.jar nogui

And here is my Startup-Script, saved under /etc/systemd/system/minecraft.service
Owener/Usergroup is root, CHMOD rwxr-xr-x (0755)

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Minecraft Server 1.14
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/etc/minecraft/startup.sh
TimeoutStartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Additional

Code: Select all

systemctl enable minecraft
reboot

...After restart no Screen-Session is established:

Code: Select all

[root@vir-mc1144-srv ~]# screen -ls
No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-root.
[root@vir-mc1144-srv ~]#

Thanks for your help!

You can not use screen (which expects an attached terminal) - the terminal "getty" (that's a joke for old UNIX dues) may not be there when started. Why do you need a terminal attached (also didn't read the link and don't know about Minecraft)?

Hi thanks for your reply. Minecraft needs a tty, which is mandatory to run the Server. If I change the Script to

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar /etc/minecraft/server.jar nogui

It won't work either because there is no tty session :-/

Not tried, but *should* work:
Use the TTY stanzas in the service file as in: https://alan-mushi.github.io/2014/10/26 ... stemd.html
