Running a server... without a batch file?

[Prowler1000]

Is it possible to run a tekkitmain server without using the batch file?

[Fyrst_Igor]

Whats the problem using it?

[Prowler1000]

Well I would like to run a tekkitmain server with my server host but I cant use a batch file only a jar file. So I was wondering if there was something I could do/use instead of a .bat file?

[Spoonman]

you can probably find a cmd.exe or DOS shell emulator that can run the batch file for you

[Prowler1000]

Huh? I need to run something close to a jar file. So will those work?

[Teraku]

Why can't you use a .bat file?

Try run.sh instead of run.bat if batch files aren't working due to your OS.

[Prowler1000]

Its not my OS im using windows 8, my server's hosting company doesnt allow the use of batch files.

[Teraku]

Try running Tekkit.jar.

If that doesn't work, then you are simply out of luck.

The OS of the server is Windows 8?

What type of interface do you have for running your JAR? Like a command where you type something? If you have some web control panel or something, can you post a screenshot?

You can run Java and point it at the JAR. I'd need to see what mechanism you have for starting an application on your host.

Just use the .jar file. Thats what I use on my hosted server.

or you could use mcpc plus its a jar

[Prowler1000]

What is MCPC plus?

[Karaktar]

its basically a server wrapper which add bukkit plugin compatibility

This is the multicraft hosting panel

You dont need the .bat or .sh file for this

You select the .jar file you want to use (Tekkit/FTB/Vanilla/Bukkit/etc)

Then the host loads the appropriate .bat/sh file for you when you click "START" at the top. The one next to STOP and RESTART

[Prowler1000]

Well I cant use tekkit or FTB because its only Minecraft, Bukkit, and Spigot.

I'm not following you here?

My server is hosted, I placed the Tekkit.jar file on the server and launch that. I then get MCPC+ and rename it to tekkit.jar and then start the server up with that file. You will know it's MCPC+ because it's around 20mb where as the normal Tekkit.jar is only like 2mb I think.

[LazyRob]

Well that's a restriction by your host then

But I know Multicraft intimately, and like I said, it automatically sets the .bat and .sh files up for you. So you don't need to worry about either of those

If you are trying to run a .jar that isn't listed in that drop down menu, then you will have to probably create a support ticket and they will do it for you
