HELP: how do I screen my server ubuntu 16

[ayeaye]

I installed screen but cant figure out how to screen the server (spigot.jar)

when using hte command"
screen -S minecraft java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar spigot.jar nogui
"

it says it cannot exec because there is no such directory as java

the spigot.jar is located in /var/AnvilGames

Well you could do "screen" first. Then click enter after the text appears.
C - creates a new console/screen
N - goes to next screen.
P - goes to previous screen
d - detatches the current screen sessions and brings you back to the normal terminal

Hope it was helpful.
