sometimes server refuses to turn off #15

Hi again, Recently, I have begun to notice that the server may stop shutting down, specifically this happened for the third time in a week.

Can this happen because of plugins, or is it a lazymc error?

That is really unfortunate.

Are you running on Windows?

If stopping through RCON fails it'll wait a while before trying again, that is to prevent issues with concurrent stop invocations. If that happens it may show the 'no more suitable stopping method' warning.

It seems the Minecraft RCON implementation is very glitchy and troublesome. I'm afraid this can't be fixed without having access to the Minecraft source code.

There is no other way (that I know of) to use as backup to gracefully stop the server on the Windows platform.

Mac M1, but in about few days i will upgrade my PC and I'll move server on Windows.

Well it's ok if there is no way to fix this, I will close issue then?

I expect better results on macOS versus Windows, because macOS supports the SIGTERM termination method, Windows does not.

Yes, it's a sad situation. I did some further investigation but didn't anything that could improve the situation. The Minecraft server sometimes simply just refuses to stop for an unknown reason.
