Linux Launcher Script Tweak

[HalestormXV]

Hey all. So I made a thread a few weeks back helping me debug a launcher script that I happened to find with some google searching. With help I managed to get it working and running. I am new to Linux but am trying to pick it up to the best of my ability. I don't like to just ask for help and just use it. I like to ask for help and learn about the answers I am seeking. Anyway the script runs fine but I am looking at a way to tweak it so that it auto-starts itself in a new detached screen session with a specific name.

 

Here is the script:

Now forgive me but I thought that the top line of that script (I don't know the formal name of it) would be able to have that script execute in a new detached screen session named MinecraftServer but that does not seem to be the case.

 

Can anyone share with me how I can get this script to execute and upon execution start a new detached screen? I know I can simply start a new screen session and then just execute the script in that screen, but I am looking for a more automatic way to do it, in the event I decide to tweak things further.

 

Another question I have that I feel can be fit in this same thread is if I wish to take that launcher script and write an automatic re-starter into it (I am aware that it has one in the event of a server crash) that can maybe reset the server every night at 2AM, would it be possible to write that into that above script or would a new script need to be written to obtain that?

 

I am running CentOS5 64 bit.
