Needed to perform work on the server. For example, I want to start the pregeneration of the world. Now I have to either disable lazymc, change the server settings, and start it manually. Or connect to the server and leave the client connected. Both options are very inconvenient.
I suggest accepting some or all of these changes:
add a command or keyboard shortcut that will start the server without players. Like #start
add a command or keyboard shortcut that will not allow the server to shutdown/pause when there are no players
grep the log for given messages and allow the server to be stopped only after that. You can either add built-in support for some mods, or/and let the user customize it himself. For example, here is what the chunky write when they are finished: [Chunky] Task finished for minecraft:the_nether. Processed: 35721 chunks (100.00%), Total time: 0:10:50
add an automatic check for server load or output to the logs and do not turn it off while work is being done
wake up the server on a schedule for certain jobs
add a command or key combination that will not allow to restart after a stop. You can even make an automatic check that the server was stopped manually using the command
do not start the server automatically if there is a "down" file in the folder. This will allow you to make backups correctly. Easy to use with scripts. It does not require any command implementation to manage and fiddle with ipc
automatic wakeup if the user entered a command for the server. Also keep the server from sleeping if the user is interacting with the console
