    As posted on Reddit here:

    Starbinder is a Starbound game server control system for the GNU/Linux command line. It is written as a bash shell script and requires BASH version 4 or later. It was written for Debian GNU/Linux, but should work on other Linux varieties without too much trouble.

    The script was made for people who want to operate multiple instances of Starbound on a single Linux host, though you can use it with just one server if you want to.

    It features a single "master" installation and one or more "linked" subordinate installations, using symbolic links. This allows for near-instant installation of new servers, saves disk space, makes downloading updates faster, makes backups easier, and has a number of other advantages. It also uses tmux instead of screen. No DB or config files, yet anyway.

    Command examples:

    starbinder.sh install server1
    starbinder.sh stop server1
    starbinder.sh start server1
    starbinder.sh list
    starbinder.sh update

    At some point I'll upload to github and have a page there.

    Anyone tried this yet? How does it work? I'm looking at an ubuntu 16.04 installation...
