SETTINGSFILE gets wrong name on system boot #34

I realise this script has been retired. Just thought I'd leave a note for those who come after me and have the same problem.

On RHEL-derived systems at least (don't know about Ubuntu etc.), the init script can fail to start on system boot. The reason is the following line (110)

SETTINGSFILE="/etc/default/$(basename $0)"

On boot, this resolves to something like /etc/default/S85minecraft, not /etc/default/minecraft. Since this file doesn't exist, the server doesn't start.
