Hi,

I am trying to run a number of private minecraft servers on a computer running ubuntu desktop and I need help automating it.
So far I have managed to get the servers to run on reboot using the command "cd Desktop/mcPrivate; java -Xmx3072M -Xms3072M -jar minecraft_server.jar" in the program "Scheduled Tasks". It open the server up to the internet and I can join it but does not display the server gui window like I would like it to - how do I do this?. Also I would like to know a way to safely shut down the server using the "stop" command into the gui at a specified time (I can use Scheduled Tasks again but I dont know how to make it input 'keystrokes') but without me touching the keyboard.

I am very new to Ubuntu in general.

Thanks in advance...

P.S. I have tried using Screen but it confused me.
