Automatic Minecraft server restart and schedules

Schedules restart the server at night, save the world or stop the server at a chosen time for you. The node runs them itself, even when nobody is signed in to the panel.

Ready ideas

Panel → Servers → server → Schedules has ready schedules you add with one click:

• Nightly restart: every day at 4:00, with warnings in the chat 5 and 1 minute before.
• World save: every night at 3:50 the save-all command.
• Off at night: the server stops at 2:00. Add a second schedule to start it in the morning.

Your own schedule

1. Click Add a schedule.
2. Choose the kind: Restart, Commands, Start or Stop.
3. Choose the days (every day, weekdays, weekends or chosen days) and the time.
4. For a restart set the chat warnings, for commands enter the console commands.

Times are in the server's time zone. You change it in Server settings → General. The number of schedules depends on the plan.

Why restart daily

A server running for days without a break uses more memory and slows down over time, especially with mods. A nightly restart, when few people play, keeps it in good shape.

A schedule can have several commands at once, e.g. an announcement in the chat and a world save.

A schedule does not replace backups. You turn on automatic backups in the Backups tab.
