Using

Probably you will need to edit the script to match your installation.

This is an example systemd unit service.

[Unit]
Description=Spigot
After=nginx.service

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/spigot/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/perlbrew exec perl start_server.pl
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=30
User=spigot
Group=spigot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To attach to the console you would use, will vary for your setup as always:

sudo -u spigot perlbrew exec perl ~spigot/attach_console.pl

You will no longer be afraid of writting ctrl+c.

Recommendable

In server.properties put:

pause-when-empty-seconds=0

To avoid the console getting stuck without connected users in the server.
