Failed to send server broadcast message

[freeeshiny]

Hi,

 

I have a dedicated server which works only for a certain amount of time, after which the server stops being visible in the server list, and noone can connect anymore. This line appears in logs:

 

Failed to send server broadcast message

 

The issue happens when my home ADSL connection has issues/disconnects. Unfortunately with my current setup it can happen a couple of times per day. Usually it's not a problem as it lasts only for a few seconds (less than 30), and I have a dedicated Minecraft server running on a same machine happily 5 years straight.

 

I think what happens is my machine looses internet connection, dedicated server fails to send a 'ping' message to the master server, and my server gets delisted. The only solution is to shutdown the server and start it again. It works, but it's flaky as I never know when I'm gonna get delisted again.

 

Ideally server would retry sending the broadcast message, so I could connect again without having to babysit the server.

 

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there maybe a known workaround, or at least a command that would trigger sending the broadcas message without restarting? 

 

My other solution would be to restart the server every hour via a cron job, but that's really hacky and inconvenient for the players.

 

And yes, having an ADSL connection that is unreliable really sucks, but that should not stop network apps from running altogether.

 

Thanks!
