Change the 2 Hour Restart

So there's a memory leak on the server? Sounds like something that needs fixing rather than having to restart the server every 2 hours.

Instead of arguing about how long should the restart occurs, let's find a way to FIX the issue that makes this restart so necessary rather than having the problem but argue over when to restart

I have never measured a memory leak on the server, but it's the only valid reason we could have been doing restarts until now. A big Java program like Minecraft probably leaks a small bit even if you don't do anything crazy.

The problem is Java itself. Normally, information that is no longer needed (e.g. the location of a zombie that is now dead) is deleted to free up memory. However, if the information is not deleted properly for any reason, it will stay in memory forever unused. This is known as a memory leak, and Java is notorious for them. If you don't do anything about them, they will accumulate and eventually take up so much memory that the actual server can't run anymore. It's not possible to track down and eliminate memory leaks because they consist of information not used by anything, so nothing is keeping track of where we can find it either. The only possibility left is to completely redo the memory assigned to the Java program, and since the server is running in the Java program, we need to restart the server.

I can tell you without looking that we don't have memory leaks so bad that we need to restart every 2 hours, because we would have noticed by now. Every 4 hours is most likely still redundant.

Still, is this really something that merits a restart every 2 hours? Even larger servers can run for days without restarting.
