Hi, i just want to make sure that i did not do something that is not necessary. Does the script in its default configuration (the given contab settings in the setup tutorial) do minecraft server restarts? i want to automaticaly restart my minecraft server (just the program not the whole server) at least once a day, idealy every 6 hours or so. Is it ok to put the following line into the crontab or is it not necessary or wrong? 00 6,12,18,24 * * * /etc/init.d/minecraft restart

probably but if you followed the guide you could replace the filepath with the service name. in this case it would be "service minecraft restart"
