Wow dude, you have been busy! Great to see people putting effort into resources and tools for their servers!

Really like this tool, but is there a simple way to shut the server down after launching with the tool?

A new day and a new version. Below are the updates to this version:

Added the ability for user defined period between checks for updated files
Added logging to file
Added logging in console
Logging enabled for restart due to long uptime
Logging enabled for restart due to crash
Enhanced visuals

New version can be found below

I got a bit carried away.

This new version now checks for updates to the configuration of the server every minute and restarts if there is an update

Where do you put this code or zip file. I don’t know what to do with this info or how to tweak it.
