Minecraft Server Screening

[FoxLife_Real]

Hi, I'm trying to create my own minecraft server and I want to keep it running 24/7 by using a screening software, If not then what do you propose as a suggestion? and If its a GOOD idea do you know any good screening services?

I may be misunderstanding what you're after but just use screen. It can be installed on basically every modern Linux distro, is stupid simple, works great.

Why not create a systemd unit instead?  You can then just control it using systemctl stop minecraft, systemctl start minecraft, etc.  And even enable it to autostart, and restart itself when it goes down.  You can determine the account and all that it runs with too so it doesn't run as root.
