How to schedule automatic restarts

Restart every night, run a command every hour or turn the server off while you sleep.

Make a schedule

  1. Open Schedules in your server panel and press New schedule.
  2. Give it a name and pick when it runs: every few minutes, every hour, day, week or month, or a custom cron time.
  3. Add one or more tasks and save it.

What a schedule can do

Run a console command, Start, Stop and Restart do what they say.

Restart when empty waits up to 30 minutes for everyone to leave, then restarts anyway. It is a friendly choice for nightly restarts.

You can wait between tasks. For example, send a warning with the say command, wait 5 minutes, then restart.

Limits

Each server can have up to 10 schedules, with up to 10 tasks each. Pick your time zone so the times match your day.
