crontab -e @reboot doesn't always work

Here's my crontab -e...

Teamspeak starts no problem. But my two minecraft servers don't like starting 100% of the time.

Sometimes Parcore starts...
The other FTB starts...

What do?

/path/to/java perhaps?

Okay...

Here are my new settings. FTB and Parcore still don't start... This version doesn't work either

What do?

Here's my last attempt at trying to get it to work.

I can manually call these scripts. But only one will start with crontab -e

I believe my issue to be the fact I'm using the wrong screen command.

Get this...

@reboot sleep 10

In between calling both ServerStart.sh... That fixed it. Wow. So cron tried to launch both screen -dmS's at the same time and confused it self?

Code:

@reboot /usr/local/games/minecraft/parcore/ServerStart.sh
@reboot /usr/local/teamspeak/ts3server_startscript.sh start
@reboot sleep 10
@reboot /usr/local/games/FTB/ServerStart.sh

Edit:

Nope. It worked once, not a second time. Ugh. What the hell!

I figured it out.

This time it seems to work...

crontab -e

Code:

@reboot /usr/local/teamspeak/ts3server_start.sh
@reboot /usr/local/games/ServerStart.sh

ServerStart.sh

Code:

#FTB Server Start
cd /usr/local/games/FTB/
screen -dmS FTB ...

#Parcore
cd /usr/local/games/minecraft/parcore/
screen -dmS Parcore ...

I called both screen commands from the same script, and now it works.

WTF?
