my name is jaksve and i got banned from the server, every time i try to log in it just says "you are banned from this server". i dont know why i got banned, i didn't do anything. please fix that... it might have been because i told a mod to shut up. but that was not in any way serious.

Well, considering banning people for saying "shut up" is a power abuse, and considering I'm pretty sure our mods are mature and totally smooth, I think you must have done something else. Please wait while a mod+ answers to your post.

Moved to ban appeals, and downloading log.

out of curiosity: is the log available through telnet?

Excuse my idiocy, I have no idea what Telnet is.

You can download the log through an SFTP client such as WinSCP though.

(Unbanned - player's name somehow appeared on banned-players.txt)

I highly doubt gamemaster is

Putty, cause if it's available through putty you should be able to just pull a grep on it. No need to download the complete log then.

Oh, SSH = Telnet then? I prefer having the whole log to hand, all 550mb of it ;p.

No, SSH is a more secure version of Telnet (kinda) so grepping should work as much

example:
grep "ban FillerB" banned-players.txt
result:
prints all lines in banned-players.txt containing the text "ban FillerB"

As you can see, a hell of a lot easier than downloading everything and then ctrl+f

For future use: how do you grep? Assume one is using Putty.

It's:

Code:


cd /home/minecraft
grep "kick Orcworm" server.log


That command is used outside of screen, by the way.

So, input IP, input Password, Input command? Hit enter/return between command lines?

grep is just a command like any other.

grep [expression] [file]
[expression] can be a Regular Expres​sion(too long to explain what that is) which makes grep pretty goddamn powerful.

you can also export the results to a text file with

grep [expression] [file] > [outputfile.txt]

Use fgrep. grep uses regexes so "foo bar" is assumed to be a regex, which may cause confusion with special chars like dots, circumflexes, etc.

then use / is you want to use one of those. Regular Expression is what makes using grep worthwhile.

But... you're not looking for regular expressions, are you? :/

Second Chance Thread Question:

Is this considered a "Second Chance" or a "He didn't deserve it in the first place" situation?

No reason for the ban.

Thanks. Relocked.
