Starbound Upstart Configuration - Furious Koala

Starbound Furious Koala Upstart Script

I use this with Ubuntu and StarBound installed via steamcmd.

Save the content below into the file /etc/init/starbound.conf

so nano /etc/init/starbound.conf, then paste in the content, then crtl+o to save and crtl+x to exit nano.

Warning! - You might have to correct the path /root/starbound/linux64/starbound_server to point correctly at your stabound install.

Then kickstart the server: sudo start starbound

To stop the server: sudo stop starbound

In our experience the StarBound service will recover from most crashes. Everyone still disconnects, but the server will start right back up.

This will also launch the server on restart or boot.
