Automatic schedules and cron tasks

Automate server restarts, backups, in-game announcements and custom console commands with the panel scheduler.

The Schedules tab lets you run tasks automatically on a cron expression. Typical use cases: daily restart, hourly backup, broadcasting announcements, clearing lag.

Cron quick reference

* * * * *\n| | | | |\n| | | | day of week (0–6, 0=Sun)\n| | | month (1–12)\n| | day of month (1–31)\n| hour (0–23)\nminute (0–59)

Examples:

  • 0 4 * * * — every day at 4:00.
  • 0 */6 * * * — every 6 hours.
  • */15 * * * * — every 15 minutes.
  • 0 3 * * 0 — Sunday at 3 AM (weekly).

Task types

  • Power action — start, stop, restart, kill.
  • Send command — any console command (save-all, say Restart in 5 min).
  • Create backup — one-click backup automation.

Chaining tasks

Add multiple tasks to a single schedule — they run in order with a delay you set. Example daily restart routine:

  1. 5 min before: say Server restarting in 5 minutes, delay 4 minutes.
  2. 1 min before: say Restart in 1 minute, save and log out, delay 50 seconds.
  3. save-all, delay 10 seconds.
  4. Power action: Restart.

You can also toggle Only run when online so a schedule skips if the server is already offline.
